Disable "Close Window" button on the title bar of a dialog [message #528941]

Hello.

I have to make a dialog (better to say a TitleAreaDialog) non-cancelable. The cancel button is easy to manage, but that little "Close Windows" button on the title bar not.
It even more a problem as it sends the same return code as cancel and so can't be fetched in the close method.

Regards,
Kai

That close window button comes from the shell style (AFAIK), possibly
set in org.eclipse.jface.dialogs.Dialog.Dialog(IShellProvider)

Thanks for the hint, Paul. But I still see no way to disable that close button.

I found the following example somewhere how to solve it, but it doesn't work (at least under Linux GTK):

getShell().addListener(SWT.Close, new Listener() {
@Override
public void handleEvent(Event event) {
event.doit = false;
}
});

Any suggestions?

It seems I have found a solution for TitleAreaDialog.

@Override
protected ShellListener getShellListener() {
return new ShellAdapter() {
public void shellClosed(ShellEvent event) {
event.doit = false; // don't close now
}
};
}

In your constructor after you call super, set the shell style to
something that doesn't include the close button.

As you found out, doit is used more by the typed listeners (like
ShellListener). For untyped listeners, the equivalent is:

event.type = SWT.None.

I don't think that is right. The snippet works well on
Linux-GTK(Ubuntu9.04 in my case). Which version of GTK you are running ?
Also please make sure getShell() points to the dialog you are referring?
