Where the dialog is called/created:

Code:

    private void displayMessageButtonMouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {                                                  
        GenericDialog myDialog = new GenericDialog(this, true);
        myDialog.changeLabel("Text to Display:");
        myDialog.setVisible(true);
        // would like to get the value of a text field here
        String response = myClass.displayMessage(<<response from dialog should go here>>);
        logTextArea.append(new java.util.Date().toString() + " :: displayMessage :: " + response + '\n');

    }

Where the dialog is closed/disposed:

Code:

    private void okButtonActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
        this.dispose();
    }

What should be added to either of those methods to return the value of a text field in the dialog?
