Word Addin for FileOpen Dialog

[Ram Prakash Singh]

Hi,
When we click on File | Open in Word, we get a file open
dialog. Then we select a file in the FileOpen dialog and
click on Open button.

I want a hook (add-in) which works after the file is
selected and open button is clicked. I want to know the
which file has been selected for opening, check some
properties and proceed based on the properties.

I tried doing this by overriding DocumentOpen function.
But this function is getting called after the file has
been opened in word. I want to catch even before the file
is opened in word.

Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,
RPSingh

Hi,
Thanks for the response. But the code that you have
suggested is in VBA.

I want it to be done in COM Addin or
How do I run the COM Addin code after the VBA code or
or How do I give the input from VBA to COM Addin

I'm not to sure to see the point. Dialogs objects are callable from VB in a COMAddin. You just need to set a reference to Wordxx and Officexx in the COMAddin project in order to access these objects as all Word/Office Object model.
