Prompt when Editor is closed [message #1850102]

Context: I have an Editor which can launch Job (Progress tab). Such jobs are associated with the Editor and those jobs become worthless when the editor is closed.

What I want: When the user choses to close the Editor, I want to prompt the user if he still want to close the editor since there are currently running jobs associated with the editor. This is similar to what is happening when the Editor is dirty.

Note:
* When the user clicks on the close (x) button, the Editor is not dirty.
* The interface IPartListener2 is not useful since the editor is deemed to closed at this point.

Was my description clear or does it need clarification?

I tried to see if there was any way to do this, but I don't think so. There's lots of support for checking if it's dirty and needs a save prompt, but nothing to say "are you sure you want to close". It's just assumed that an editor that's not dirty can be closed and there is no mechanism to veto that while attempting to close the editor. So at least as far as I can tell, there's no clean way to implement this.
