Get document name BEFORE and AFTER saving

[denisyukJ]

Hi,

I would like to make a programm which write down information about current document. There are no problem when document open and close with same name, but problems occur when name is changing during session.

Could someone give me a hint how to catch a name of current document  BEFORE and AFTER saving (SAVE, QSAVE, SAVEAS)?

BR,

Evgeniy

Hi,

You can handle the Database.BeginSave and Database.SaveComplete events.

Hi, @_gile 

Non of those events catch information before saving?

Databse.BeginSave does.

Please take a look at code below.

I created new file (Drawing 1) > Click SAVE> Gave a new name (qqq) > ACAD shown me the same messages.

I expected Drawing 1 and qqq.

public class Class1 : IExtensionApplication
{
    public void Initialize()
    {
        var docMan = Application.DocumentManager;
        docMan.DocumentCreated += DocumentManager_DocumentCreated;

    }

    public void Terminate() { }

    private void DocumentManager_DocumentCreated(object sender, DocumentCollectionEventArgs e)
    {
        e.Document.Database.BeginSave += Database_BeginSave;
        e.Document.Database.SaveComplete += Database_SaveComplete;

    }

    private void Database_BeginSave(object sender, DatabaseIOEventArgs e)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(e.FileName);
    }

    private void Database_SaveComplete(object sender, DatabaseIOEventArgs e)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(e.FileName);
    }
}

e.FileName is the new document name.

Try this way:

private void Database_BeginSave(object sender, DatabaseIOEventArgs e)
{
    MessageBox.Show(Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Name);
}

private void Database_SaveComplete(object sender, DatabaseIOEventArgs e)
{
    MessageBox.Show(Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Name);
}

[_gile]

Or this way:

private void Database_BeginSave(object sender, DatabaseIOEventArgs e)
{
    MessageBox.Show(((Database)sender).Filename);
}

private void Database_SaveComplete(object sender, DatabaseIOEventArgs e)
{
    MessageBox.Show(((Database)sender).Filename);
}

This gives opposite result. Maybe this? 

        private void Database_BeginSave(object sender, DatabaseIOEventArgs e)
        {
            MessageBox.Show(Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Name);
        }

        private void Database_SaveComplete(object sender, DatabaseIOEventArgs e)
        {
            MessageBox.Show(e.FileName);
        }

Yes, that will give you the old and new filenames.

You can store the Document's current Name in a variable from the BeginSave handler and compare it to the e.FileName event args in SaveComplete handler.
