StartUp Script 4 CLOSE

hi friends,

 

i tried below startup script.

 

 

#targetengine session

app.menuactions.itembyname("close").eventlisteners.add("beforeinvoke", function()

{

    //functions

});

 

 

when closed document via (shortcut -> command + w) keyboard, script executes.

but , when closed document via the close button of doc, nothing happens

please advise.

 

thanx in advance..........

indesign's shortcut points menu item, , menu item caught event handler. has same effect, whether press shortcut key or select "close" file menu.

 

the close button, on other hand, generates different event , not call actual menu item close. imagine similar thing happens when force-quit indesign through task manager -- not *all* events caught id on scriptable level.

 

i think able intercept window close button, need write actual plugin. that, or instruct users not use close button under circumstances.
