Hi!
I'm trying to make a window which cannot be closed using the close button in
the title bar. According to what I can find on the web, the following should
work:
getShell().addShellListener(new ShellAdapter()
{
@Override
public void shellClosed(ShellEvent e)
{
e.doit = false;
}
});
However, at least in GTK, the method is called only *after* the shell has
already been disposed (verified through e.widget.isDisposed()). I haven't
yet had a chance to try in Windows.
Also, GTK always displays a close button, regardless of whether the shell's
style includes one or not. This may be correct behaviour, however I really
need a working way to prevent the shell from closing when it is clicked.
Thanks,
Marian.

My mistake. I wrote an SWT test snippet and it worked. Turns out this is a
JFace feature: The Window#canHandleShellCloseEvent()
Window#handleShellCloseEvent() are provided for dealing with the close
button. Apparently, Window registers a shell listener itself for handling
the close event, so regardless of my own listener, JFace's own listener got
called - and the default behaviour of handleShellCloseEvent() is to close
the window.
Two possible solutions:
1) Override canHandleShellCloseEvent() to return false, then implement
custom behaviour in a standard SWT shell listener.
2) Override handleShellCloseEvent() and put your own custom behaviour right
there.
Sorry for the alarm. :)
Marian.
