When switching between workbooks, if the users clicks the 'X' directly on the Excel workbook window bar

When switching between workbooks, if the users clicks the 'X' directly on the Excel workbook titlebar, HostApplication.ActiveWorkbook still references the non focused workbook. This is only true if the user does not click on a cell first, then clicks 'X' to close the window.

The event for workbookBeforeClose() doesnt have the correct HostApplication.ActiveWorkbook, for the workbook that is being closed.

How can I get the Workbook that is being closed in this case?

Thank you

This issue belongs to the Excel object model.

Cast e.HostObject to Excel.Workbook - this is the workbook being closed.
