"Do you want to save the changes?" after we have added our signature

Hello,

a new email will be marked as changed after applying our signature. So there is always the ?Â?Ð?ìDo you want to save the changes?Â?Ð?í dialog when you close the window.
This does not happen when using the Outlook signatures.

When inserting the signature, we add the bookmark "_MailAutoSig" with our text, when a new e-mail is created.

Is it possible to set the email as not changed?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards
Nedeljka Meyer

Hi Nedeljka,

You can try to save the mail item after adding your custom signature text.

The problem is that the email is then saved in "drafts"-folder.

Hi Nedeljka,

Try to get the Word._Document object from the Inspector.WordEditor property. Then set the Saved property of Word._Document to true.

Hi Dmitry,

the dialog "Do you want to save the changes" still comes when you close the window.
The MailItem.saved-property has not changed, if after MailItem.WordEditor.Saved-Property set to True.

Hello Nedeljka,

This works for us in Outlook 2016. What Outlook version are you using?

Hello Andrei,

I am using Outlook 2010.

Is there a "Do you want to save the changes" dialog when you close the window?

Hello Nedeljka,

My add-in has this code line only: 

procedure TAddInModule.adxRibbonTab1Controls0Controls0Click(
  Sender: TObject; const RibbonControl: IRibbonControl);
begin
  OleVariant(OutlookApp.ActiveInspector.WordEditor).Saved := true;
end;


It works correctly in Outlook 2010 and 2016. I create an email and enter some text. When I try to close the inspector window, Outlook shows the "Do you want to save the changes" dialog; this is expected. I choose Cancel, click my Ribbon button and close the inspector window; Outlook doesn't show the dialog this time.

Hello Andrei,

Your solution has worked.
We had a property of MailItem changed and therefore it came to the dialogue.

Thanks a lot.
