Interacting with host application

Question

Hello,I've got a newbie question !Is it possible to listen events from Illustrator app in extensions ?I would like to be notified when a user changes the name of a layer or when he moves an item to another group or when he changes the anchor points of a path.I would like to be able to intercept all these types of events and more.Is it possible ? Does anyone have an example?If possible, how can I get a list of all these events?I saw that there was PlugPlugAddEventListener, is it possible to use it in this way?Thanks for your help.Loïc[moved from Illustrator Scripting by moderator]

CEP doesn’t support events in AI.However, We can listen a event via plugin that made by Illustrator SDK.You can download tools and documents from Adobe I/O Console .

Thanks.

I inspect MarkedObject and Freegrid samples in SDK. I saw Events.

Now I must learn and understand C++ ! A big challenge !

Is it possible to build a very small plugin that listen all events in host app and dispatch them to CEP ?

If anyone have a good tutorial for Illustrator SDK programming, it's perfect.

Have a nice day !
