Is it possible to disable close button on views? [message #242783]

Hi all,

Is it possibloe to disable the close button on views? Or somehow prevent a
view from being closed?

The reason I ask is that my application defines a perspective that creates
several fastviews when the perspective is created. These fastviews should
never go away but sometimes a user will accidently close them. Closing the
fastview is an annoyance since the user will just have to reopen the view
anyway. Therefore it makes sense to just make it that the user can't close
the view in the first place.

TIA,
ted stockwell

hi ted,
you can make your views fixed, incase u want to disable the close button.
While adding a view to the perspective use addFixedview(viewid)...
