Know when a drawing is made current

[Anonymous]

Hello all,

What is te best way to get to know when another allready opened drawing is
set current?
Nor the Application object, nor the Document or DocumentCollection object
provides events for this.

thanks in advance,

This event won't do the trick, because it only gets triggered for the
document-objects you've declared. It is not possible to declare an array of
documents (private withevents acDocs() as AcadDocument), so i would have to
declare a document-object for every document that could be opened, which
would imply that my application would support a fixed number of open
documents.

I didn't realize you were using VB...

You can either create an inprocess server which exposes
ThisDrawing or create a class With a Global AcadDocument
and needed events. You will have to wire this to all open
drawings and watch for any being opened and wire as necessary.

joe sutphin wrote an article about doing this very thing about 8-9 years
ago. perhaps someone in this newsgroup or joe himself might still have it.
unfortunately, i don't seem to have it any longer.
