[JS CS3/4] Stop closing process problem (onEvent)

[Loic.Aigon]

Hi,

I try to stop a closing operation through an event listener.

I used that :

#targetengine session
docEvt();
function docEvt()
{
    var myEventListener = app.eventListeners.add("beforeClose",myAddDocGlobalEvt, false);
}
function myAddDocGlobalEvt(myEvent)
{
    
    myEvent.stopPropagation();
    myEvent.preventDefault();
    alert('stop');
}

However, when I close the document...it's closed 😞

I get the 'stop' alert but the document window is no longer visible.

I would like to really stop the closing process. What do I do wrong ?

TIA Loic

Hi Loic,

Is beforeClose cancelable?

Try:

alert(myEvent.cancelable);

If false, you can't prevent default behavior.

Good shot Marc,

Thanks a lot for your input. I have to find another way then 🙂

Hi Marc,

All my apologies for the community. Weird I ain't thought to have a look on archives :-S

Thanks for all your care.
