Close document inside aftersave event in jsx

[DomTom]

Hi,

My goal : when the operator save his current document, I display my own screen (build in jsx) in which one of the options is 'close document'.

In the validate process, I detect the close option and call the jsx procedure document.close (), but this produce an error : impossible to close the document because I'm inside the event procedure. How can I solve this problem ?

BR,

Dominique

Are you using beforeSave of AfterSave ? If the former, you may prefer the latter.

I use the afterSave event.

This what I did :

MyFunction ()

{

...

      dom.addEventListener("afterSave", SaveBdx);

...

}

function SaveBdx (docEvent)

{

...

if (reply == 1)

   dom.close ();

...

}

When executing dom.close (), I have the error : Close document impossible, because this is the target of an active event. 😞

if (reply!==1){ docEvent.preventDefault()}

[DomTom]

It doesn't work. I have got another error : 'impossible to cancel this event'.

May be I have to found a way to post a close event if the condition is valid.

    docEvent.stopPropagation();

    docEvent.preventDefault();

#targetengine 'onAfterSave'
var main = function() {
  var ev = app.eventListeners.itemByName ("onAfterSave");
  !ev.isValid && app.eventListeners.add ('afterSave', onAfterSave).name = "onAfterSave";
  function onAfterSave (evt) {
  var myIdleTask = app.idleTasks.item("afterSaveIdle");
  if ( !myIdleTask.isValid ) {
  app.idleTasks.add({name:"afterSaveIdle", sleep:100});
  }
  var onIdleEventListener = myIdleTask.addEventListener(IdleEvent.ON_IDLE, onIdleEventHandler, false);
  function onIdleEventHandler(myIdleEvent){
  myIdleEvent.parent.sleep = 0;
  var c = confirm ("Shall we close the doc ?", true, "What's next ?");
  c && evt.parent.close();
  }
  }
}
main();

Just wait for indesign to be idle
