Notification When an Element is Modified

[SteveC]

Is anyone aware of how an add-in can be notified when an element is modified?

For example, I'd like to know when the user changes a tagged value of one of the elements. This would allow the add-in to check if it should perform any processing on the element based on the new tagged values.

There's a hook (EAOnContextItemChanges IIRC out of memory). But it does not report TV changes.

I had this requirement sometime ago and used EA_OnNotifyContextItemModified but this doesn't let you know if this is due to a tagged value change. 

Hence, my approach was to use EA_OnContextItemChanged to track the selection of an element, and take a copy of tagged values before any changes.  Then when ContextItemModified is triggered a check can be made to see if there is any difference for a tagged value.  Not ideal..

There is a (fairly) new set of events related to editing tagged values:

Unfortunately, they are only relevant for AddinBroadcast tagged values.

But you could use them to force tagged value edits to go through your addin.

Ahh, too bad   

Would be nice to have such a general "taggedValueModified" event thoug.
