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?
