Is there any way to catch a dispose event, and in specific cases have it
not dispose (such as in the Are you sure? dialog in many programs)?

No, but if want to prevent your app from closing you can add a
ShellListener to your Shell and show your "Are you sure?" dialog in the
shellClosed() method:

shell.addShellListener(new ShellAdapter()
{
public void shellClosed(ShellEvent e)
{
if (["Are you sure?" dialog returns 'No'])
e.doit = false;
}
});

I'm trying this with my app on Pocket PC but it doesn't work well.
When I'm closing shell programaticaly: shell.close(), I can see dialog and
denied app closing,
but when I'm closing dialog with close button from title bar dialog
doesn't show and application is halting - all shells disapear and no clean
up is done.?
