| Control over close button on Part tab [message #1015249] |

I have a part that encapsulates a task. When you are setting up the task, and when it is displaying the task results, I wish the part to be closeable. When the task is running, I want the part either not to be closeable, or else to have the ability to interrupt, and possibly abort the close request. (I.e. pop up an "Are you sure?" dialog, and respond.)
I thought by setting MPart.setClosable() I could, at least, enable/disable the close state. But it seems to have no effect once the part is rendered.
And I can't find any API that lets me hook into the closing process.
Any suggestions?

Well, the code there words as advertised. But there are two problems:
1) The handler does not seem to be called unless the tab for the part is in focus.
If I just click on the "X", my handlers does not get called. If I click first on the tab title, then the "X", it does get called.
[Actually, it's more complex than that. I'm not sure what it is anymore.]
2) This doesn't give me any control over the close button. I can see when the user tries to close it. I can even pop up a message that asked them if they really want to do that. But, if they don't, I don't see any way to stop the close from happening.
Is there a way to mark an event as "consumed"? Or otherwise abort it?
I looked to see if I could change NEW_VALUE, but there is no way to set the property.
I tried just going back and setting Visible=true on the model part, but that didn't work. Either immediately or after a pause.
I tried just throwing an exception to crash out the event processing (!), but you've done the right thing and catch all exceptions.
How can I abort a close?
(pure e4, no compatability layer stuff needed, BTW)
