howto "overwrite" the close() method of the Workbench [message #435999]

Hi,

I'd like to find a way to reject the workbench closing under certain
circuumstances. In particular I have an editor which has a button in it,
that calls IWorkbench.close() when clicked. But before the closing
can actually happen, I have to read some stuff from the editor input and
send that over a network connection to a server. Then depending on the
answer from the server the closing needs to be intercepted or not.

I did not yet try, but from the docs it seems that using a
WindowListener and listen to the close-Event of the Editor-Window might
be a proper way, or is there another way to do this?

Have a look at the WorkbenchAdvisor class (assuming that you're dealing with a plugin that uses one).

http://help.eclipse.org/help31/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse. platform.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/ui/progress/Workb enchJob.html

There's a method called 'preShutdown' that returns true if the workbench is OK to be closed:

http://help.eclipse.org/help31/topic/org.eclipse.platform.do c.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/ui/application/WorkbenchAdvi sor.html#preShutdown()

That may not be much use if you're not customising your own RCP though ...
