Dialog close called but not closing?

SPlatten

Under what circumstances will a call to close() not close the dialog?

I have a button on the dialog with the text Abort, if I click the abort button it calls the close function and this works quite reliably.

From the application if there is a problem I emit a signal which calls a function called closeDialog, this function calls the close() function, but it isn't closing the dialog, why, what can I do to resolve this?

Well, they are mostly used when dialog is being shown modally.
That is, you call exec() on it.
Then accept/reject set the result and closes the dialog.
It's to know if the user canceled or accepted the dialog.

It's basically the same as calling
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qdialog.html#setResult
and then the close

Hi
That I have not heard before.

However, is three a reason you don't use
accept()/reject()/done()

@mrjj , only because I am ignorant and didn't know they existed or how and when to use them?
