Hi, I would like to know how I can prevent an editor from closing. That is
to say, editor should not be closeable at all. Thanks.

I believe that if the Editor implements ISaveablePart2 and then overrides the promptToSaveOnClose() such that it returns CANCEL then the editor part won't be closed.

This will be called when the workspace is closing down too, and I'm not sure what would happen in that situation. You may want to use IWorkbench.isClosing() to determine whether you return YES or CANCEL.

Hi Alex,

Thanks, this worked wonderfully if there was unasaved data, otherwise the
editor closes still. Is there any other way to get around this?
