Hi !

I have a trouble.
###
require "tk"

class Main
def initialize
@root = TkRoot.new { title "prog" }

top = TkToplevel.new
@edit = TkEntry.new(top) {
pack
}

cmd = proc { puts @edit.get }

button = TkButton.new(@root) {
pack
text ""
command cmd
}

top.grab
Tk.mainloop
end
end

m = Main.new

How to get @edit value after "top" is closed ?

If I remember correctly you need to use @edit.value

How to get @edit value after "top" is closed ?

One of the simple solution is to use a TkVariable and
'textvariable' option of an entry widget.

I not found -textvariable options in TkText

If you use Tcl/Tk8.5, Tk::Text:eer widget is useful.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
txt = Tk::Text.new # A base text widget.
# In this case, it isn't shown on the GUI.

top = Tk::Toplevel.new
peer = Tk::Text:eer.new(txt, top).pack
# A peer widget of 'txt' widget. Its parent is 'top' widget.

# ... destroy 'top' widget ...

p txt.value # This is the same content with the destroyed peer.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

If you use Tcl/Tk8.4 or the former version,
you can "withdraw" the dialog instead of "destroy".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
top = Tk::Toplevel.new
txt = Tk::Text.new(top).pack
@value = ""
top.protocol('WM_DELETE_WINDOW'){ top.withdraw; @value = txt.value }
# Ignore 'WM_DELETE_WINDOW' protocol (e.g. when click the 'delete'
# button on the window frame) from a window manager.
# In this case, withdraw the toplevel widget instead of destroy it.

# ... withdraw the toplevel ...

p @value

top.deiconify # Display the toplevel widget in normal form.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Or, get value before destroying the toplevel.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
top = Tk::Toplevel.new
txt = Tk::Text.new(top).pack
@value = ""
top.protocol('WM_DELETE_WINDOW'){ @value = txt.value; top.destroy }

# ... destroy the toplevel ...

p @value
