Closing File in DW Catch Close Event

[kscap]

I will post this in the extensions forum since i would think this has to exist
somewhere.... I want to be able to run some code when a user closes a file in
the DW IDE. Is there such a command/method/file that gets called when a file is
closed? Such the same fashion as there are commands for _onOpen or _afterSave
in the commands folder.

thanks

I don't think there's a specific handler of onClose of a users document. If you
explain more of what you'd like to do when the document closes there may be
some workarounds you can use.

basically when the user closes the file i wanted to write some information to
an independent text file.

i was able to point the close menu to a file which included my script t write
to a file.

However, is there a way to get at the action or code behind when a user
clicks the "x" to close the indivudal file tab? and also to grab a hold of the
same thing when they click the "x" to close the application?

Maybe you gather all the information you need in an _onOpen command and write it all out at once in a Shutdown command when the application quits.

I had a similar problem with my Extra File Functions toolbar. I ended up
using the onSave command files instead, which basically gives you a similar
thing.

The onSave command doesnt help me in this situation because i need to key off
when the user closes the file(s) or application.

i noticed that there is the Exit Ctrl+Q in the file menu but i cannot seem to
locate this menu item in the menus.xml file. Is it labeled as something else?
or is it included in a different file?

Also, once again is there anyway to get at the code behind when the individual
"x" is clicked on each file or the "x" on the application itself?

thanks

I don't think there's a way to know exactly when a file is closed. You can keep
a global list of opened files and periodically use dw.getDocumentList() to see
when a file is no longer open. Then you'll know it was closed sometime between
your current check and your previous check.
