How to stop a stage from closing when user selects close button?

Question

I can add this code to hook into the stage close event:

stage.setOnCloseRequest(new EventHandler<WindowEvent>() {
    public void handle(WindowEvent we) {
        System.out.println("Stage is closing");
        // but wait! I don't want it to close!
    }
});

but how do I stop the stage from closing?

For [example](https://stackoverflow.com/q/17003906/230513). – trashgod Jun 04 '17 at 12:14 — trashgod, Jun 04 '17 at 12:14

I refer to this comment:

Platform.setImplicitExit(false);

primaryStage.setOnCloseRequest(new EventHandler<WindowEvent>() {
    @Override
    public void handle(WindowEvent event) {
        event.consume();
    }
});
