The event isn't fired when opening the Fabrication Settings dialog. Tested in 2020/2021/2022/2023.

Oh dear. Sorry to hear about that. Can you include a few more details to help ensure a foolproof communication when I report this to the development team? For instance, screen snapshots of the UI command button to click and the Windows form it displays? Thank you! I need a complete minimal reproducible case to pass on; it should be trivial for the issue you describe:

Hi,

I think it's because the Fabrication Part Browser is just an Add-In but not an integrated component of Revit.

C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Revit 2022\AddIns\FabricationPartBrowser

I suppose similar behavior of other Add-Ins from this folder, e.g. SteelConnections, PnIDModeler etc.

Probably just as Revitalizer says... thank you, Rudi!

If all the Revit API built-in mechanisms fail, you can always fall back on the underlying Windows API functionality:
