Catching key is low level Windows IO event.

You'll need to use Addin.

I won't do it this way.

Think about what happen when to want to delete text. Every character will get a popup.

What are you trying to do?

Actually I have an adding to delet any part that place through tool but if any user delete the part manually it's causing issue in model since it is leaving few ucs which generated from tool while placing

So I want to give a prompt message if it is placed through automation tool it should say "use idelete" button to delete part

Inside IV SDK is a Event Watcher.

It can should events triggered by different commands and action.

Using that I found "AssemblyEvents.OnDelete" when deleting in assembly:

You can use that to check if the part is one added by your app and show dialog.

You don't want to show dialog on every del keypress.

You don't want to show dialog on every part/assembly delete.

Can you elaborate i cannot understand this so your saying event will be trigger when I press delete key is it or if the object which I delete is from the app which I placed

Am I right ?

Please read the API page I've linked.

Again, don't even think about catching the del keypress.

You need to catch when something is deleted in assembly. Not when del is pressed.

Have you done any event handler before?
