JOptionPane Dialog Determine if Close Button was Clicked

I want to create a dialog with a checkbox and a combobox. This is what I have:

JCheckBox checkBox = new JCheckBox("My checkbox");

JLabel modeLabel = new JLabel("Select mode:");
String[] modes = {"A", "B", "C"};
JComboBox<String> modesComboBox = new JComboBox<>(modes);
JPanel modePanel = new JPanel(new FlowLayout());
modePanel.add(modeLabel);
modePanel.add(modesComboBox);

JPanel dialogPanel = new JPanel();
dialogPanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(dialogPanel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
dialogPanel.add(checkBox);
dialogPanel.add(modePanel);

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, dialogPanel);

How do I determine whether the Close (i.e., "X") button or the OK button was clicked? I need to know which one of these two buttons caused the dialog to close.

Use JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(Component,Object) (or overloaded equivalents) to get an int returned that reports yes, no or cancelled.

Calling showConfirmDialog..

Brings up a dialog with the options Yes, No and Cancel; with the title, Select an Option.
Parameters:
parentComponent - determines the Frame in which the dialog is displayed; if null, or if the parentComponent has no Frame, a default Frame is used
message - the Object to display
Returns:
an integer indicating the option selected by the user

Edit

On closer inspection, it becomes apparent this task needs both a confirmation dialog and an option dialog. Here is a complete example that reports the results of the user choices to the console.

import javax.swing.*;

public class OptionSelection {

    public OptionSelection() {
        int result;
        String[] modes = {"A", "B", "C"};
        result = JOptionPane.showOptionDialog(
                null,
                "Modes",
                "Select mode",
                JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION,
                JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE,
                null,
                modes,
                "B"
        );
        if (result == JOptionPane.CLOSED_OPTION) {
            System.out.println("User canceled mode selection");
        } else {
            System.out.println("Result: " + modes[result]);
        }
        result = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null,
                "Are you now, or have you ever?",
                "Declaration",
                JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION);
        if (result == JOptionPane.YES_OPTION) {
            System.out.println("User says YES!");
        } else if (result == JOptionPane.NO_OPTION) {
            System.out.println("User says NO!");
        } else {
            System.out.println("User canceled");
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Runnable r = () -> new OptionSelection();
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(r);
    }
}
