[Openroad-users] Word ActiveX (again!) - External Class Events

[Pete Wilkinson]

thanks to Ian & Bodo for the same idea, whilst it does stop a new blank document opening, due to doc_closing now being NULL, this parameter really should have the closing document in it.  I noticed my trace message was actually reporting the name of the newly opened blank document and not the one that was closing down ... the closing document reference is obviously not coming back?
 
here is the Microsoft definition:  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa263708(office.10).aspx

Have you tried declaring the "doc_closing" parameter with DEFAULT NULL?

I'm working in OR4.1 SP3, as External Class Events in OR2006 are not working correctly, so whilst I wait for a fix ... 

I want to know what document is closing, so I trap the external class event as follows: 

ON EXTCLASSEVENT 'DocumentBeforeClose' (doc_closing = WinWord!Document)= 
BEGIN 

CurFrame.Trace ( text = 'closing:' + VARCHAR(doc_closing.Name) ); 

END; 

Now this works in the sense, in that it reports the document name closing, however it seems the declaration in the parameter list of 'WinWord!Document' actually initiates a new document to be opened/created ... not quite what I was expecting 

is this a bug, and is there away around it? I've tried having the parameter as type ExtClass but that was of no use.
