I want do something before closing a view [message #542179]

Hi friends,

As the title indicates, what should I do for it? I think I should add a listener and implement the close method. But can anyone tell me what the api is?

Thanks

You could use an IPartListener2 and listen for the partClosed
event. Since this is an often-occuring task, You might want
to create a helper class that accepts an IViewPart and does
this for you, see below.

public abstract class PartOpenCloseObserver {

private IPartListener2 listener = new IPartListener2() {

@Override
public void partActivated(IWorkbenchPartReference partRef) {
}

@Override
public void partBroughtToTop(IWorkbenchPartReference partRef) {
}

@Override
public void partClosed(IWorkbenchPartReference partRef) {
if (partRef.getPart(false) == part) {
partRef.getPage().removePartListener(listener);
PartOpenCloseObserver.this.partClosed(part);
}
}

@Override
public void partDeactivated(IWorkbenchPartReference partRef) {
}

@Override
public void partHidden(IWorkbenchPartReference partRef) {
}

@Override
public void partInputChanged(IWorkbenchPartReference partRef) {
}

@Override
public void partOpened(IWorkbenchPartReference partRef) {
if (partRef.getPart(false) == part) {
PartOpenCloseObserver.this.partOpened(part);
}
}

@Override
public void partVisible(IWorkbenchPartReference partRef) {
}

};

private IWorkbenchPart part;

public PartOpenCloseObserver(IViewPart part) {
Assert.isNotNull(part);
this.part = part;
part.getSite().getPage().addPartListener(listener);
}

public PartOpenCloseObserver(IEditorPart part) {
Assert.isNotNull(part);
this.part = part;
part.getSite().getPage().addPartListener(listener);
}

public abstract void partOpened(IWorkbenchPart part);

public abstract void partClosed(IWorkbenchPart part);

}

Hello Ricky,

If you're sure the view has been created (view controls were created / view had focus), you could simply overload the dispose() method in your view part and add all your "something" work in this method.

Note that this method will not be called if the view was never shown and the user simply clicked the cross without displaying the view, unless you forced view initialization through :

IWorkbenchPage.showView(YourView.VIEW_ID, null, IWorkbenchPage.VIEW_CREATE);

Hope this helps,
Christophe

I stumbled several times across the problem, that the ViewPart.dispose()
function is actually called, *after* the controls have been disposed,
which is sometimes too late for some-cleanup work - Therefore I
recommend to listen to an IPartListener2 instead.
