                | Is there a way to trap open document menu selection event for Word 07. You have "DocumentOpen" event which is fired after document is already opened. I need to be able to hook in right after user clicked "Open" command from the menu before open dialog is displayed. 
 Thanks!

                | Hello Alex, 
 Are you talking about opening a document in Windows Explorer? If yes, then this doesn't relate to developing Office add-ins and we can't help you with this. If no, then please specify how I can open that menu.

                | Hi Andrei, 
 I am talking about opening new Word Document from within Microsoft Word (Office Button -> Open). Once you click that button open file dialog comes up. I need to be able to hook up there before dialog is opened and show a custom dialog. You have events like DocumentBeforeColse and DocumentBeforeSave but not DocumentBeforeOpen. Is there another way to trap that event?
 
 Thanks!

                | Hi Alex, 
 Thank you for the explanation. Below is the code of the add-in module that cancels clicking on the Open button in the Ribbon Office menu:

            //

        }

            }
        }
        private void adxRibbonCommand1_OnAction(object sender, AddinExpress.MSO.IRibbonControl control, bool pressed, AddinExpress.MSO.ADXCancelEventArgs e)
        {
            e.Cancel = true;
        }
    }
}
 
 
 
 The "FileOpen" is the ID of that button. The IDs of all built-in Ribbon controls, can be found in the following download: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=4329d9e9-4d11-46a5-898d-23e4f331e9ae&DisplayLang=en.
