Application.documentOpening Event

Parent Object: Application
Defined in namespace "adsk::core" and the header file is <Core/Application/Application.h>

Description

The DocumentOpening event fires at the VERY start of a document being opened. There is no promise that the document will be opened, hence a documentOpened event may not follow.

When a document is being opened that references other documents, only the top-level document will cause a documentOpening event to be fired.
