The dummy host is just meant to be a placeholder for the wrapping class for your dialog. Something like your plugin class or another dialog. For the values - you have simply to store them in a container. That is not much work. You could however write a fully automated value initialization GeDialog class, that might become handy in the future, as this is a common problem (with fully automated i mean a class that you can derive from a do not have to overwrite Init for initing the basic dialog elements like strings, bools, reals and so on. you would need than a BaseContainer format that does store the DescLevel.dtype, min/max values and so on.
i have not tested the code, but i guess it shows the general idea and it just does cover the four very basic dialog element types.
