Examples

VBA:

Public WithEvents ACADApp As AcadApplication    ' Use with Application Event Examples
Sub Example_AcadApplication_Events()
    ' This example initializes the public variable (ACADApp), which will be used
    ' to intercept AcadApplication Events
    '
    ' The VBA WithEvents statement makes it possible to intercept a generic object
    ' with the events associated with that object.
    '
    ' Before you will be able to trigger any of the AcadApplication events,
    ' you will need to run this procedure.

    ' We could get the application from the ThisDocument object, but that would
    ' require having a drawing open, so we get it from the system.
    Set ACADApp = GetObject(, "AutoCAD.Application.22")
End Sub

Private Sub ACADApp_AppActivate()
    ' This example intercepts an Application AppActivate event.
    '
    ' This event is triggered when the AutoCAD application receives focus
    '
    ' To trigger this example event:
    '     1) Make sure to run the example that initializes
    '     the public variable (named ACADApp) linked to this event.
    '
    '     2) Switch focus from AutoCAD to another Windows application
    '     and then back again.

      MsgBox "AutoCAD was just activated!"
End Sub
