If the dialog is a self-owning non-modal dialog constructed on free store, one common approach is for the signal handler for the hide signal (or the clicked signal for whatever button is intended to close the dialog) to call 'delete this'. Self-owning objects such as non-modal dialogs are one of the (few) cases where calling 'delete this' correctly expresses the nature of the object and its place in the program structure.
