Hi All,
I have an application that requires a message to be displayed to the
user when the user exits the application. The message has a Yes, No and
Cancel button and if the user presses Yes, they are to be brought back
to one of the views that is currently open, although not necessarily the
one that is visible. So I overrode the preShutdown() method in my
ApplicationWorkbenchAdvisor class and display the message from there. If
the user exits via the File -> Exit menu item (which is defined to be
the org.eclipse.ui.file.exit command), it works fine, the view I want to
show is made visible. If the user exits via Alt-F4 or pressing the close
box (red X in upper right corner), the view is not shown. My code for
showing the view is simply:
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActi vePage().showView(MyView.ID);
Does anyone have any idea why I can't show the view when exiting via
Alt-F4 or close box or have a solution? Thanks in advance!
Steve

Martin,
Thanks for the reply. Yes, the preShutdown() method is executed no
matter which way I exit my app. It also executes from the same thread
in each case. I'm not sure what other kind of concept I could come up
with, do you have any ideas? As far as I know, preShutdown() is where
you're supposed to put code that executes before shutdown is complete;
you also get the chance to veto the shutdown from there. Seems like a
natural fit to me. Maybe there is a bug in Eclipse? By the way, I'm
using 3.6.0.

Steve,
I'm not quite sure what exactly the problem is. Does the veto work in
either case and only the view is not shown if the user decides to
"cancel" the exit procedure after pressing Alt+F4?

Yes, the veto works no matter how the app is exited. It's just that the
view is not shown if exiting via Alt-F4 or close box. If exiting via
the menu and vetoed, the view is shown as expected. I copied my original
message into this reply. I think it's pretty clear but if not please
let me know. Thanks for any suggestions you or anyone else may have.
