What's the proper way to close a window

I know this is just about as rudimentary as it gets, what is the proper way to close a window, such as a custom dialog. It seems like all of the examples in the Swing Tutorial exit on close.
My specific need is to capture the values from the input fields on a dialog when the user presses the OK button, then close the window. The only other examples I've seen are setVisible(true). Is that the correct way?
To put it another way, assuming the application is done with the window, how should it be closed while the application remains running?
Thanks.

If you're interested in keeping the dialog around for future use, you can just call setVisible(false) on the dialog. Then when you need the dialog again, just call setVisible(true).
If you want to get release resources you can call dispose().

Oh yeah... forgot to mention that if your input is particularly simple, you don't need to make your own dialog, you can just use the show????Dialog methods from JOptionPane. They take care of lots of stuff for you, and make things look standard.

Thanks. I think dispose() is what I was looking for.

sooo ... why did you post in this forum which is highly focused on
SwingLabs related questions? Usually, you'll be better off in a more
general group/forum.
