Editor undo all changes when not saving [message #690293]

Hi,

I've implemented databinding in my editor and it gets marked dirty when a change is made. But I want to revert (undo all) changes when the editor is closed AND not saved. How do I achieve this?

Example:

- Editor of a person is open
- Change name 'Ryan' into 'Rya' (dirty state is set)
- Close editor without saving
- Name of person should be 'Ryan' and not 'Rya'

Another (less prio) question I have is regarding the dirty state. Is it possible to remove the dirty state when all changes are gone?

Example:

- Editor of a person is open
- Change name 'Ryan' into 'Rya' (dirty state is set)
- Change name 'Rya' into 'Ryan' (dirty state should be gone, but isn't)

What is holding onto the state after the editor is closed?

Do you really mean an editor?

Yes.

No, I'd expect your editor to implement undo and there would be two
commands you'd need to be able to undo.

Have you implemented undo? If so, you might want to invoke it up to the
point where the editor isn't dirty when you close the editor without
saving...
