Catching File->Open and File->Close

Author	Message
mshahb.. #1 / 6	Catching File->Open and File->Close How can I do this? When a user is in any application, like Word, Excel, etc.and when the user selects File->Open to open a file or File->Close to Close a file. I want my program to be notified. What is the best way to it? Thanks Mike Sent via Deja.com http://www.--*.com/ Share what you know. Learn what you don't.

Ajay Kalr #2 / 6	Catching File->Open and File->Close Install a hook(SetWIndowsHookEx()) to get messages (WH_GETMESSAGE) for all windows (or for that process). Look for WM_COMMAND with appropriate ID (File, New etc) for t the window you are interested in. -- Ajay Kalra Quote: >How can I do this? >When a user is in any application, like Word, Excel, etc.and when the >user selects File->Open to open >a file or File->Close to Close a file.

mshahb.. #3 / 6	Catching File->Open and File->Close Thanks for your reply, This is what I am trying to do and I am not sure this can do it or not. 1. Assuming the user is in MSWORD 2. When the user selects File->Open to open a word document. 3. I need to catch the name of the file 4. Update some line to the document(Which includes, adding, removing, etc. lines from the word document) 5. Then display the new word document to the user 6. When the user selects File->Close to close the document 7. I would like to catch the name of the file and perform similar operation on the word document. Can I use the SetWIndowsHookEx()to solve this? If so should I be using the (WH_GETMESSAGE) or should I be using the (WH_CALLWNDPROC) function.

Ajay Kalr #4 / 6	Catching File->Open and File->Close Hooks are not going to solve this feature that you want. You need to automate Word and use its exposed API to get document and other information. You would be better served to post you questions in a Word or Automation related news group. -- Ajay Kalra Quote: >Thanks for your reply, >This is what I am trying to do and I am not sure this can do it or not. >1.

mshahb.. #5 / 6	Catching File->Open and File->Close Thanks again. I was just assuming that if the user is in Word, The user could be any application which deals with File-Open. Does that mean, I need to have some kind of a patch for each application? Thanks Mike Quote: > Hooks are not going to solve this feature that you want.

Johan Rosengre #6 / 6	Catching File->Open and File->Close Note that File-Open could have any resource ID, so, yes, you would have to have special versions for each application. And also making sure that newer versions kept the same resource ID for the same command... You would have to find out the ID, perhaps by loading the exe into the resource editor, and then you would have to trap WM_COMMAND with that ID for that particular application.
