Application.DocumentBeforeClose Event

  • Article
Publisher Developer Reference

Occurs immediately before any open document closes.

Syntax

expression.DocumentBeforeClose(Doc, Cancel)

expression   A variable that represents an Application object.

Parameters

Name Required/Optional Data Type Description
Doc Required Document The document that is being closed.
Cancel Required Boolean False when the event occurs. If the event procedure sets this argument to True, the document does not close when the procedure is finished.

Remarks

To access the Application object events, declare an Application object variable in the General Declarations section of a code module. Then set the variable equal to the Application object for which you want to access events. For information about using events with the Microsoft Office Publisher Application object, see Using Events with the Application Object .

Example

This example prompts the user for a yes or no response before closing a document. To see this example work, this code must be placed in a class module and an instance of the class must be correctly initialized, using an example similar to the SetPubApp routine below.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Private WithEvents PubApp As Application

Sub SetPubApp()
Set PubApp = Publisher.Application
End Sub


Private Sub PubApp_DocumentBeforeClose(ByVal Doc As Document, Cancel As Boolean)


Dim intResponse As Integer

intResponse = MsgBox("Do you really want to close " _
    & "the document?", vbYesNo)

If intResponse = vbNo Then Cancel = True



End Sub
