How do I register that event handler has finished?

Hi

 

I am closing and reopening an active document from the api and in order to this I need to. 

 

Step 1.Open a placeholder document and close my main document.

Step 2.Do this again only opening the original document and closing the place holder.

 

This requires me to register that the document has closed. unfortunately in i can't do step 2 in the event handler because step 2 also involves closing a document.

 

So what i need to do is check that the event hander has finished before i start step 2. (I NEED HELP WITH THIS PART)

If I can't register the event in main, I don't mind exploring alternatives

 

* m_Closehelper closes the opens the new document and closes the current one.

is it neccessary to use event? are you using below procedure?

var doc = commandData.Application.ActiveUIDocument.Document;
var file = doc.PathName;
var doc2 = commandData.Application.OpenAndActivateDocument(placeholderFile);
doc.Close(false);
TaskDialog.Show("info", "open old one");
var uidoc = commandData.Application.OpenAndActivateDocument(file);
doc2.Document.Close(false);

I am basing my code off the building coders article here.

I think I have to use an event becuase it throws an unrecoverable error when i i reopen it too soon so i figgered i had to check to see if the document had fully closed first. i will try your way out in the mean time.

 

Thanks, Jack
