VBA:
Public WithEvents ACADApp As AcadApplication ' Use with Application Event Examples
Sub Example_AcadApplication_Events()
' This example intializes the public variable (ACADApp) which will be used
' to intercept AcadApplication Events
'
' The VBA WithEvents statement makes it possible to intercept an generic object
' with the events associated with that object.
'
' Before you will be able to trigger any of the AcadApplication events,
' you will first need to run this procedure.
' We could get the application from the ThisDocument object, but that would
' require having a drawing open, so we grab it from the system.
Set ACADApp = GetObject(, "AutoCAD.Application.25.0")
End Sub
Private Sub ACADApp_BeginFileDrop(ByVal FileName As String, Cancel As Boolean)
' This example intercepts an Application BeginFileDrop event.
'
' This event is triggered when a drawing file is dragged into AutoCAD.
'
' To trigger this example event:
' 1) Make sure to run the example that initializes
' the public variable (named ACADApp) linked to this event.
'
' 2) Drag an AutoCAD drawing file into the AutoCAD application from either
' the Windows Desktop or File Explorer
' Use the "Cancel" variable to stop the loading of the dragged file, and the "FileName"
' variable to notifiy the user which file is about to be dragged in.
If MsgBox("AutoCAD is about to load " & FileName & vbCrLf & _
"Do you want to continue loading this file?", vbYesNoCancel + vbQuestion) <> vbYes Then
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
