Stop editor from closing without saving [message #463925]

Hi,

when an editor is dirty and the user closes it, he get asked if he wants
to save or not or if he wants to cancel. For my editor i want, that under
certain cirumstances (marked within the editor) the user is not allowed to
close the editor WITHOUT saving. So either the "no"-button in the above
dialog has to be invisible, or i should be able to capture the close-event
bevore it happens and cancel it. How can i achive that?

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!
Christoph

I hate to say this as I know its not the answer you are looking for.
However, I think you should not do this. You are playing bad with the
user and users can get quite frustrated when simple things are not allowed
to happen in a timely fashion.

I tried before to block the closing. its painful and error prone for me.

I'm not quite sure if this would work to you but i think this might
help:
override the "dirty" state of the editor so that it's never dirty, and
react to hidden part events of the editor to create the dialog you like
the most
