In the example above, we return the result of .show() method. It can assign only numeric values from .close() function. You can take this feature into account and encode string by stringIDToTypeID, then decode by typeIDToStringID when processing the result.
However, we can also return the result of the entire showDialog() function by writing the appropriate statement after dialog.show(), as is done in the example below. In this case, the result of the function execution is limited only by your imagination (to store the result, it is advisable to use a variable in the showDialog () scope that changes the value when a particular button is pressed)
