Save All Open Files Constant - Exists?

[rombanks]

Hello fellows,

In the Scripting Guide, I don't see such a constant. Is there such a thing?

It is the same as <Shift> + Click File --> Save All Open Files

I need it for an event script. Is there any other way to catch such an event?

BTW, what does Constants.FV_SaveFmtBookWithFm do?

Thanks!

Hi Roman,

You can use a general script to capture the "number" of a function that doesn't have a specific Notification. Then you can use this number in an event script to capture that event and do what you need to.

#target framemaker
setupNotifications ();
function setupNotifications () {
    Notification (Constants.FA_Note_PreFunction, true);
    Notification (Constants.FA_Note_PostFunction, true);
}
function Notify (note, object, sparam, iparam) {
    var element, regex;
    // Handle the before/after function events.
    switch (note) {
        case Constants.FA_Note_PreFunction :
            alert ("PreFunction: " + iparam);
            break;
        case Constants.FA_Note_PostFunction :
            alert ("PostFunction: " + iparam);
            break;
    }
}

It looks like Save All Open Files is 796. So now you can do something like this:

#target framemaker
setupNotifications ();
function setupNotifications () {
    Notification (Constants.FA_Note_PreFunction , true);
}
function Notify (note, object, sparam, iparam) {
    // Handle the pre-function event.
    switch (note) {
        case Constants.FA_Note_PreFunction :
            if (iparam === 796) {
                 // Do something before the Save All Open Files function.
            }
        break;
    }
}

I've just recalled that you had shown me this method once.
