ObjectBridge and Word 2003

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have a program which uses ObjectBridge to control the opening of a Word Document & then waits for the document to close before transferring control back - the relevant code is below:

* ACTIVATE WORD APPLICATION

  CALL ATINVOKEMETHOD(WORDOBJECT, 'Activate', '', '', ERROR, OPTIONS)

  IF ERROR#'' THEN GOSUB 9000; GOTO 999

* ENABLE DOCUMENT Close EVENT

  CALL ATSETEVENT(DOCOBJECT, 'Close', 1, ERROR, OPTIONS)

  IF ERROR#'' THEN GOSUB 9000; GOTO 999

  CALL ATSETPROPERTY(WORDOBJECT,'WindowState',1,ERROR,OPTIONS)

  IF ERROR # '' THEN GOSUB 9000; GOTO 999

* WAIT FOR Close EVENT

  CALL ATGETEVENT(OBJID, EVENTNAME, ARGS, 0, ERROR, OPTIONS)

  IF ERROR#'' THEN GOSUB 9000; GOTO 999

  CALL ATENDEVENT(OBJID, EVENTNAME, ARGS, ERROR, OPTIONS)

  IF ERROR#'' THEN GOSUB 9000; GOTO 999

If you make a change to the Word doc and then click on Close or the x button, you are asked if you want to save the document.  You click on Yes & control passes back to the program.  This works fine in Word 2000 or before.

However, in Word 2003, when you click on close, control passes straight back to the program.  Word still asks if you want to save the doc, but ObjectBridge thinks that the document has been closed.

Is there some setting for Word or the ObjectBridge code to make it wait for the Save changes window?
