returning values from widget hierarchy [message #20140]

First, forgive my ignorance of widget programming ;^)

How can I return values from a "temporary" widget hierarchy. That is:

I have a widget program that creates a new widget for users to adjust
color settings. When they select a menu item, I do something like,

...build widgets for color settings...
widget_control, cs_base, /realize
xmanager, 'color_settings', cs_base

Then in color_settings_event I handle the various sliders and buttons in
the cs_base widget. Then when the user clicks on 'Accept' on the
cs_base widget, I do widget_control, event.top, /destroy

What I'd like to do is NOW be able to see what those settings are back
in the procedure that created the cs_base in the first place. I would
like to avoid using COMMON blocks if possible. I'm familiar with using
widget_control to store a structure to contain all the information
needed, but can't seem to figure out how to make it work in this
instance.

Thanks,
