Event Triggers Iproperties change on single iproperties

[Darkforce_the_ilogic_guy]

I would like to know if it is possible  to  make an event triggers  with a special Iproperties are change.

I want to run a code when Surface is change .. it is a custom properties I iproperty.... but I do not want it to run ever times that someone make a change to any other iproperties.

how can I do this ?

Sub AddHandlers()
    Dim oDoc As Inventor.Document = invApp.ActiveDocument
    AddHandler oDoc.DocumentEvents.OnChange, AddressOf Me.ChangeSub
End Sub

Sub ChangeSub(ReasonsForChange As CommandTypesEnum, BeforeOrAfter As EventTimingEnum, Context As NameValueMap, HandlingCode As HandlingCodeEnum)
    
    If ReasonsForChange = CommandTypeEnum.kFilePropertyEditCmdType Then
          ' Do something cool
    End If

End Sub

There is already a build in trigger for iproperties , but is there a way to limit the change I need only to happen when I change iproperties.Custom.Surface ?

[Darkforce_the_ilogic_guy]

the best I can do so far is to use the the Event Trigger IproPerties change

then Writte this code

Dim doc = ThisDoc.Document
	Dim sDocumentSubType As String = doc.SubType
	
'Undersøger Document type"
	
	If sDocumentSubType = "{9C464203-9BAE-11D3-8BAD-0060B0CE6BB4}" Or sDocumentSubType = "{4D29B490-49B2-11D0-93C3-7E0706000000}"  Or sDocumentSubType = "{E60F81E1-49B3-11D0-93C3-7E0706000000}" Or sDocumentSubType = "{28EC8354-9024-440F-A8A2-0E0E55D635B0}" Then ' = "assembly"Then	' = "Sheet Metal"
		
		
If iProperties.Value("Custom", "Surface") ="Colour 1" Or iProperties.Value("Custom", "Surface") ="Colour 2" Or iProperties.Value("Custom", "Surface") ="RAL 1028"Or iProperties.Value("Custom", "Surface") ="RAL 5003" Or iProperties.Value("Custom", "Surface") ="RAL 7035"Or iProperties.Value("Custom", "Surface") ="RAL 7037"Or iProperties.Value("Custom", "Surface") ="RAL 9005"Or iProperties.Value("Custom", "Surface") ="RAL 9010" Or iProperties.Value("Custom", "Surface") ="EG-Galv" Or iProperties.Value("Custom", "Surface") ="HDG-Galv"
 
iLogicVb.RunExternalRule("RefreshColour") 

End If		
	

End If
	

but it still  run the code if I do any change to iproperties , but I only want it to run when there has been a chance to iProperties.Value("Custom", "Surface")

I am using inventor 2018 ... can I use iproperties on All Document in inventor 2020 ?... I can only do it local on the fil in 2018 :S

The iLogic iProperty Change event is not available on All Documents in Inventor 2020. It is still only in This Document. However, we can make it available on All Documents in a future version.

It looks like there is no way to find out which property has changed using the API.
