Word 2010 AutoSave event detection

Hello again,

As we encountered problems with AutoSave option, we use this method to verify is the Save triggered by user or is it AutoSave:

void adxWordEvents_DocumentBeforeSave(object sender, ADXHostBeforeSaveEventArgs e)
{
object oBasic = WordApp.WordBasic;
object fIsAutoSave =
oBasic.GetType().InvokeMember(
"IsAutosaveEvent",
BindingFlags.GetProperty,
null, oBasic, null);
if (int.Parse(fIsAutoSave.ToString()) != 1)
{
getActiveAddinInstance().getAnnotator().setActive(false);
}
}

It works fine with Word 2010 on Windows 7 but on Windows 8.1 it does not work.

Do you have any suggestion, or solution to detect AutoSave event?

Thanks in advance,
Srdjan

Hello Srdjan,

In what way it doesn't work? Do you get an exception?

Hi Andrei,

Thanks for prompt reply, here is more details.

We need to check if event DocumentBeforeSave is trigered by AutoSave or not.

If it is AutoSave then we should not deactivate add-in, otherwise we get un exception.

Here is exception details:

Are you sure that you have Word 2010 on that system? Is Office properly updated? Do you have application from several Office versions on that system?

The other way is to intercept all Ribbon controls causing Word to save the document (and produce DocumentBeforeSave). In the event handlers you set a flag and check the flag in the DocumentBeforeSave event: if the flag is not set, the event is initiated by AutoSave.

We have Word 2010 but it is 64 bit version that fires exception (maybe that is problem not version of Windows).

If we use your sugested method can we add that flag to all events that close document, not only from ribbon?

Thanks again!

I believe yes. The idea is to have the flag set whenever a user-initiated action occurs; if the flag is not set in DocumentBeforeSave, then the action is intiated by Word itself.
