Can we disable the close button for ImageWindow/StackWindow

[vidya]

Dear ImageJ,

 

I am using ImageJ programatically in my application. I do not want the user to have the option to close the ImagePlus window.  Is there any way to set this option programatically, i.e. to disable the 'close' option from the Imagewindow/Stackwindow 'frame'.

 

If anyone has a solution, please let me know. One other option I could think of is to extend ImageWindow/StackWindow and remove the frame decoration and use my window class in ImagePlus, but not sure if this is the right way and also if this will work smoothly.

 

Thanks for any help.

Actually, if you are subclassing ImageWindow anyway, you can just

        @Override
        public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
                return; // prevent it from closing
        }

If you cannot do that, a quick and dirty way is to set the member variable
"closed" to true. It is dirty because you have to use reflection; this
member variable is protected.

Thank you very much for the reply.  I will probably stick with the 1st solution and give that a try.
