Hi,

Searching the forums i stumbled upon an example to override the FileSave and FileSaveAs events in Word
(http://www.add-in-express.com/projects/mysavedialog_vb.zip)

I tried implementing it, but all i get is 2 extra buttons on my Add-In Ribbon.
The standard Save and SaveAs dialogs still appear when using the standard buttons.
Anyone has an idea why ? Or is it because of Office 2007 ?

Thnx,
Ben

Hi Ben.

The example is written for MS Office 2000 - 2003 and it doesn't work correctly in Office 2007. Do you use Add-in Express v3.4?

Ben, in Office 2007 you need to use the 'command' element of the Ribbon scheme to connect to built-in controls of the Ribbon UI. Now Add-in Express doesn't support this element. We will support it in the next build.

Too bad it isn't supported then :-)
So overriding them is not an option for the moment.

No it is possible. You can override them in the OnRibbonBeforeLoad event handler using the e.Xml property.
