It depends on functionality you need and type of your dialog (modal/modeless) In any case I do not think appropriate time is when dialog is closed.
Check QDialog documentation for example at: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/qdialog.html In general for modal dialog you might want to update data when as reaction on accepted () signal or when exec returns with QDialog::Accepted For modeless dialogs (in general) you might update data as soon it is changed in the dialog or button Ok/ Apply clicked (again depends on the design). Common sense is the best practice.
