Override default save form...

[lidds]

Is there a way that I can override the default save forms with my own?

Thanks in advance

Stefan,

I did see this post, but this does not work for me as this is overriding the save event, where what I want to do is change your standard save form when a document is close.

I am using the following code to close the document:

Code: Select all

Dim cmd As PDFXEdit.IUIX_Cmd = uiInst.CmdManager.Cmds.Find("cmd.closeAll")
Me.docPreview.Inst.ExecUICmd2(cmd.ID)

Which displays the save form, I have used the following events to try and override this, but this is not working:

Code: Select all

If e.nEventID = nIDS(CInt(IDS.e_document_performSave)) Then
            'Do your stuff
            MsgBox("Save document")
            'If the document should not be saved then we break
            If True Then
                '...
                e.pEvent.Result = 0
                'Also we can send the E_FAIL (0 means S_OK) or some other error message so that it would be displayed in the error message box
            End If
        ElseIf e.nEventID = nIDS(CInt(IDS.e_document_closed)) Then
            'Do your stuff
            MsgBox("Save document")
            'If the document should not be saved then we break
            If True Then
                '...
                e.pEvent.Result = 0
                'Also we can send the E_FAIL (0 means S_OK) or some other error message so that it would be displayed in the error message box
            End If
        ElseIf e.nEventID = nIDS(CInt(IDS.e_annots_inserted)) Then
            'disableProperties()
        End If

Thanks in advance

Hi Simon,

In that case you will need to capture the beforeClose event:

And mark it as handled - and then display your own dialogue as needed.

Hi Stefan,

I have tried the following, but this is not working. It is still showing the default save form and not displaying my messageBox. Any ideas?

Code: Select all

If e.nEventID = nIDS(CInt(IDS.e_document_beforeClose)) Then
            'Do your stuff
            MsgBox("Save document")
            'If the document should not be saved then we break
            If True Then
                '...
                e.pEvent.Result = 0
                'Also we can send the E_FAIL (0 means S_OK) or some other error message so that it would be displayed in the error message box
            End If
End if            

Thanks in advance

Hello Simon,

Please read a Handled/Result description more carefully.

Hi Alex,

Sorry my mistake, this is working now.

However because I am now handling the beforeClose event myself by displaying my own save form, the issue I now have is that the PDF Xchange control is not releasing the document. And therefore I get a "file in use error". What code would I need to call to properly release the document?

Thanks in advance

Hello Simon,

IPXV_Document::Close should work.
