Considering the way that Microsoft office uses temporary files which makes it impossible for me to know exactly when the original (not the temporary file) was updated using a FileSystemWatcher, I decided to change the design in such a way that I keep track of the when the process with which I opened the office application on exits.
Using
Process process = new Process();
process.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
process.Exited += new EventHandler(process_Exited);
process.StartInfo = pInfo;
// start process
process.Start();
Since the user can open more office document of this sort, I also kept this processes in a list
WatchProcess.Add(process);
So that on closing of my main form I can know which processes have not been exited. Display a warning to the user, and force an exit
private void FrmMainEMR_Closing(object sender, System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e)
{
if (WatchProcess.Count > 0)
{
if (new FrmConfirmation().ShowDialog(this) == DialogResult.Yes)
CloseApplication();
else
e.Cancel = true;
}
else
CloseApplication();
}
}
This is how I was able to get thru this. Now I can sleep tonight as this has kept me up for a couple of nights. Thanx
