If you were to display that dialog box modally (by calling execute), you 
can just check the return value of FXDialogBox#execute, e.g.

     def showEntryDialog
       exitCode = @@dialog.execute
       if exitCode != 0
         # user clicked "Accept" to terminate the dialog box
       end
     end

If you're displaying the dialog box non-modally (i.e. by just calling 
show() on it) I don't think that there is a way to *directly* recover 
those termination codes.
