setting the file dirty so as to get the asterisk [message #276274] Fri, 19 November 2004 17:01 Go to next message

I have a non-textual editor. When I change a value in one of my Text
controls I would like the workbench to recognize my file as being dirty.
How can I get this to occur? I have set the dirty boolean member (which is
returned in the isDirty method). Of course something has to call this
method. I am guessing that some event must occur to get this to call my
editors isDirty method. Does anyone know what that would be? I would like
to do this without changing the contents of my FileEditorInput/File. That
should be done at save time correct?
