Event - before save, after filename

J

Hello Dave,

From your post, my understanding on this issue is: you want to know how to
capture the event when users click on "Save" in SaveAs dialog of Word. If
I'm off base, please feel free to let me know.

The Word event BeforeSave occurs before user has entered the path to save
the document by design. In order to capture the event of Save in "SaveAs"
dialog, I think we need to get the object of the dialog.

Tough "Word.Dialog dialog =
this.Application.Dialogs[Word.WdWordDialog.wdDialogFileSave];" returns the
dialog object, Word.Dialog provides no support for the "Save" event. A
possible workaround is to use SaveFileDialog object:

1. In DoucmentBeforeSave event handler, we check if it needs to show the
SaveAs dialog. If not, we could run "our event logic" directly.
2. If it needs to show the SaveAs dialog, we turn it false/invisible, and
create an instance of SaveFileDialog. Add the FileOk event to the
SaveFileDialog and call dialog.Show();
3. In the FileOK event handler, we add "our event logic" and in the end, we
pass the file path/name to ThisDocument.SaveAs function to simulate the
Save operation.

If you have any other concerns, or need anything else, please feel free to
let me know.

Sincerely,

THis strikes me as potentially buggy. We're going to figure out how to live
with not knowing the filename.

Hi

i have a preculiar problem while using dialog.show with file save as
parameter.



if my file name is xxxa;b the .show saves the file as xxxa.doc;b.doc .
is there any way by which i can avoid the .doc coming twice.



now even if i pass xxxa;b.doc as default file name as a parameter the
document is stored as xxxa.doc;b.doc, is there any setting or method i can
use by which i would be able to save the document as xxxa;b.doc





thanks in advance
