iLogic Editor - Events (On Open, On Close) - Exist?

[Tiffany_Hayden_]

Hi Everyone, 

I'm wandering if there is an event that I can look at to trigger if the iLogic Editor has opened or closed?

Thanks in advance!

@Tiffany_Hayden_ , I took a quick look with the event watcher ( so this might not be a complete answer) but I saw that Transaction Events catch new rules, deleting rules. editing rules, etc.

You could have a look at the CommandEvents and than on activate using this command as trigger:

iLogic.RuleBrowser

Yeah I saw this listing. @bradeneuropeArthur Is that what you were referring to?

Do you think a On Close and On Load event on the iLogic Browser would be helpful? If it doesn't exist I can add it to the idea board.

I think what @bradeneuropeArthur was referring to was the:

UserInputEvents.OnActivateCommand 

and

UserInputEvents.OnTerminateCommand 

...used to monitor for specific command names (ControlDefinition names).

And those specific command names can be seen if you have ever logged or written out a list of all ControlDefinition names, like the DumpControlDefinitions Sample shows.  There is one in there for every global iLogic Form, and one for every external iLogic rule, and one for every VBA Macro (that you have created a ribbon button for).  But besides those, there are also some in there that are unique to the iLogic add-in, but not unique to any specific rule or form...similar to the ones you see in the built-in ribbon panel, and the ones you see available in your right-click menu, when over the iLogic DockableWindow.

Below is a partial list:

iLogic.About
iLogic.AddForm
iLogic.AddRule
iLogic.AssignName
iLogic.ClearCodeClipboard
iLogic.Configuration
iLogic.DeleteAllRules
iLogic.DeleteName
iLogic.DrawingGenerateCode
iLogic.EditName
iLogic.EditRule
iLogic.EventTriggers
iLogic.FreeILogicMemory
iLogic.HideLabel
iLogic.HideLabels
iLogic.iCopy
ilogic.logwindow
iLogic.PlaceComponent
iLogic.RegenAllRules
iLogic.RuleBrowser
iLogic.ShowLabel
iLogic.ShowLabels
ilogic.treeeditor
iLogic.Trigger
iLogic.XmlExport
iLogic.XmlImport
