Hi,

When user presses the close button then i want to make editor hidden not dispose.

Actually i have a tree view with each node representing one editor. I want when user closes the editor then it should be somewhat become hidden and when user click on the respective node of tree view then it become visible again.

Any clue?

Cheers,

You can't intercept the close command, at least not without completely overriding it for the entire workbench (then you could do your hide for your editor and simply delegate back to the workbench for the other editors).

The other alternative is to stash your model and/or calculated state somewhere safe (a manager in your plugin) and check there when re-opening the editor for that node, and simply re-render it.

Actually i am already re-rendering editor to re-open. I am interested to intercept close command and override it for entire workbench.

Can you please guide me a bit in this regard?

Cheers,

There is a close command, org.eclipse.ui.IWorkbenchCommandConstants.FILE_CLOSE

Normally there is a handler registered for it, probably in the org.eclipse.ui plugin, org.eclipse.ui.internal.CloseEditorHandler

If you were to supply a handler with a higher priority, your handler would be active and then you could do what you want. You'll have to look at the plugin to figure out when the CloseEditorHandler is active.
