Well that makes a major difference. ;-)
Still what I said stands. You are making this too complicated. You don't
want to use the returned message object, you want to use the dialog object
you instantiated. Not only because trying to use the message object is too
complicated, but also because it won't work.
Do this:

I looked at the doc for the popup and popupAsChild methods and just added
some clarifying text:
Note that the example shown below for the popup method makes use of the
returned Message object to illustrate a possible use of the return.
However, it is a contrived use case. Typically it is easier to just work
with the instantiated dialog object directly. (In the case of the example
this would be the dlg variable.)
One of the major problems I had with the original ooDialog documentation
was that the return value from most methods was not documented. And the
few times it was, it was often not documented correctly. So, when I
began rewriting the docs one of the objectives was to always document what
was returned. In the case of these 2 methods, I added an example that
could show a possible use of the return. But, the example was not meant to
imply that you should use the return.
In your case, what you want to do is invoke a method on the Dialog object.
You can't do that by invoking a method on the Message object. But, it is
very easy to invoke a method *of *the dialog object if you have a refence
to it. ;-)
