I can (maybe) help with your GUI problems:
1- The problem with the Null value is caused by not having a Rejector set for the window. Normally this is assigned by CtrlLayoutOKCancel, CtrlLayoutCancel or CtrlLayoutExit so usually this isn't a problem. There are three ways around the problem I can think of:
Add an exit button and call CtrlLayoutExit.
Assign a rejector.

Rejector(*this, IDCANCEL);

Don't call Run on the main window (assuming that is the one causing the problem).

window.OpenMain();
EventLoop();

2- Key events propagate up if not handled by a child ctrl, so you can pick up the K_RETURN event in you main window (which makes more sense anyway)
