_ExternalApplication.Close method
Closes the specified Microsoft InfoPath form.
Namespace: Microsoft.Office.Interop.InfoPath
Assembly: Microsoft.Office.Interop.InfoPath (in Microsoft.Office.Interop.InfoPath.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Sub Close ( _
bstrDocumentURI As String _
)
'Usage
Dim instance As _ExternalApplication
Dim bstrDocumentURI As String
instance.Close(bstrDocumentURI)
void Close(
string bstrDocumentURI
)
Parameters
bstrDocumentURI
Type: System.StringThe string value that specifies the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) of a form.
Remarks
The Close method closes the currently open form without quitting the InfoPath application. When using the Close method, the form is closed unconditionally, meaning that any changes made to the data in the form are not saved.
Examples
In the following example, which is written in the C# programming language, the Close method of the ExternalApplication object is used to close the currently open form:
private void AutomateInfoPathForm()
{
ExternalApplication infoPath = new ExternalApplicationClass();
// Open an InfoPath form.
infoPath.Open(@"C:\My Forms\Form1.xml", 1);
// Close the InfoPath form.
infoPath.Close(@"C:\My Forms\Form1.xml");
// Quit the InfoPath application.
infoPath.Quit();
}
Note
The above example assumes that the Microsoft.Office.Interop.InfoPath namespace is being used and that the Microsoft InfoPath 3.0 Type Library is referenced.
