Hi Meinrad,
Thank you very much for your help.
Where would i put the message handler:
@topwin.handle(@button,
FXSEL(Fox::SEL_COMMAND,Fox::FXDialogBox::ID_ACCEPT),
nil)
Would i put it inside the button_ok.connect method?

FX::Button.new(@verticalframe7){|w|
@button_ok=w
w.wdg_name='button_ok'
w.text="Ok"
w.width=21
w.y=4
w.height=21
w.layoutHints=40
w.x=26
w.selector=FX::DialogBox::ID_QUIT

@button_ok.connect(Fox::SEL_COMMAND){
lat = textfield_lat.text
lon = textfield_lon.text
heading =textfield_heading.text
@topwin.handle(@button,
FXSEL(Fox::SEL_COMMAND,Fox::FXDialogBox::ID_ACCEPT),
nil)
}
}

Thanks again!
Eduardo
