Closing QGIS custom form programmatically?

Question

I have a custom form for entering and editing attribute values of a point shapefile. I also added a button for deleting the actual feature. Deletion of the feature works fine and then I want to close the form.

I tried:

MyDialog.close()

but it only empties the dialog (all widgets gone) but leaves an empty window.

How can I close the custom form programmatically?

System is Windows 8.1, QGSI 2.8.1

I had the same issue, solved it by calling the parent's accept() like so:

myDialog.parent().accept()
