I'm learning SWT and i have created a custom dialog by extending the Dialog class.

KeyDialog:

public class KeyDialog extends Dialog 
{
	Object result;
	String str;

	public KeyDialog(Shell parent,int style)
	{
		super(parent,style);
	}
	
	public KeyDialog(Shell parent)
	{
		this(parent,0);
	}
	
	public Object open () 
	{
	      //My code goes here
	
		return result;
	}	
}

I have opened this dialog from another class as :

Object res;
kd1=new KeyDialog(shell);
res=kd1.open();

How can i access the String str in KeyDialog class ?

Any suggestions are welcome......

This form of getting the return type of open looks suspicious. What does
it help that you query the int value as an Object?

There is no much magic behind that, just do it as you would do it in
other classes: Provide a getter for it.
