is there a way to get a var from a custom dialog box

[NickFaraday]

I want to use a custom dialog box to get a element and drop it into a script. Is this possible?

For the fields in a Custom Dialog, you'll need to use real fields. Globally stored fields are the best choice for a temporary value. You can then use that whereever in your script.

in your script you *could* use a global field as suggested and the very next step in script could be set var $$whatever to the value of the global field.

I agree; this is kinda annoying.

It's not REALLY annoying, take a look at any programming language... you'll see exactly the same thing.
