Catch all closing events

[MiK@GenApi]

Hi everybody

I'm working with a Word application in which I have to catch all the closing
events. So I'm overriding all the Word closing built-in commands as DocClose,
FileClose, FileCloseOrExit, FileCloseOrCloseAll, FileExit and FileCloseAll,
and all those ones work fine.

But I've been searching a long time and didn't find which built-in command
is assigned to the closing event from the right top most "X" into the
application window tile bar.

The small "x" just above the "big one" is assigned to the DocClose built-in
command and works.

Any help would be quite appreciated.

Thank's for your answers.

You appear to have missed the Quit event
(http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa140279(office.10).aspx).

If the "Windows in Taskbar" option is turned on, the Quit event will fire
for the big "x" only when it's closing the last (or only) document; if the
option is turned off, the event will fire whenever the big "x" is clicked.

hi jay, thank's for your answer but I think I've not been clear enough in
describing my problem... in fact I do not really need to manage the quit
event : my real problem is when I click on the big "X", it doesn't fire any
close event on my document. In place of that, Word prompts the filesave
dialog box instead of calling my code (FileClose, DocClose, etc. ...)

hope you see what I mean

Ah, that one. It isn't that the document event doesn't fire, but it fires
after the prompt when it's too late. This may help:
