Hi all,
I one of my view in eclipse RCP application i have a variable representing if any changes were done.
Before leaving the window (by clicking X of that view) I would like to show simple message window yes/now with question if the user really want to close that view. Where should I make kind of listener or are there any ready function?
kindly regards
julian

Just override WorkbenchAdvisor#preShutdown which returns a boolean. Here
you can do anything necessary (like opening a dialog) to let the user
decide, whether (s)he really wants to exit the application. Just return
false, if no exit is wanted.

Yes, that's working but for whole window of application, but I was looking for something for only one view.

Oops, sorry, I misread. Have you considered to let your view implement
ISaveablePart?
