EA_OnPreNewPackage

Details

EA_OnPreNewPackage notifies Add-Ins that a new package is about to be created in the model. It enables Add-Ins to permit or deny creation of the new package.

This event occurs when a user drags a new package from the Toolbox or Resources window onto a diagram, or by selecting the New Package icon from the Project Browser. The notification is provided immediately before the package is created, so that the Add-In can disable addition of the package.
