Hallo,

i want open a fileDialog, if i closed the application about the X at the top (on the right side).

I have a application, and if the user want close the application, i want pop my special dialog , who can save the data.
My special dialog is a command (extend from AbstractHandler).
It is possible to use my command, if the application will closed?

I have try to open my FileDialog in the "stop" method in the calss "Activator", but this doesnt work.

Can someone helpt me ??

Thx.

You should override the preShutdown method of your WorkbenchAdvisor
and should then programmatically invoke your command via the
IHandlerService - see either of

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform_Command_Framework
http://blog.eclipse-tips.com/2009/01/commands-part-4-misc-it ems.html
http://www.vogella.de/articles/EclipseRCP/article.html

how this can be done. A return value of false will prevent the
workbench from closing. Note: You emphasize that you want to do this
(only?), if the application is closed via the special system button.
I'm not sure that you can discriminate this. The above mention method
will be called either way, e.g. also if closed via "Exit" or Alt+F4.
