You have to call the dispose() yourself in the WindowClosing event like a frame.

You can also put a button on the dialog like in this simple one:

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class InfoDLG extends Dialog implements ActionListener
{
     Frame frame;
     Button close_button;
     Label info_label;
     Panel back_panel;
     String msg;

     public InfoDLG(Frame parent, String mess)
    {

          super(parent,"Warning !", true);

          msg = mess;
          frame = parent;
          setLayout(new BorderLayout(5,5));
          create();
          this.setResizable(false);
     }

     void create()
     {
          back_panel = new Panel();

          back_panel.setLayout(new FlowLayout());

          close_button = new Button(" Close ");

          info_label = new Label((" " + msg + " "), Label.CENTER);
          info_label.setFont(new Font("Helvetica", Font.BOLD, 18));
          info_label.setForeground(Color.red);
          info_label.setFont(new Font("Helvetica", Font.BOLD, 14));
          close_button.addActionListener(this);

          add("North", info_label);
          back_panel.add(close_button);
          add("South", back_panel);
     }

     public void actionPerformed( java.awt.event.ActionEvent event )
    {
          Object pEvtSource = event.getSource();

          if ( pEvtSource == close_button )
          {
               dispose();
          }
     }
}

If you need to continue with the execution in your program while the Dialog is
showing
(for example your main application is  listening to sockets or something else..)

You should call the show method from another thread.

Augh !
