Is it possible to open a Premiere Pro panel on startup using com.adobe.csxs.events.ApplicationActivate?

Hi, I'm trying to get a Premiere Pro panel to open on Premiere Pro startup and record the time that it opens. Ideally it would then also record the time when the panel and/or Premiere Pro closes. I've added the below code to my manifest.xml from https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/CEP-Resources/blob/master/CEP_9.x/Documentation/CEP%209.0%20HTML%20Extension%20Cookbook.md but it doesn't seem to work in Premiere Pro. It seems to work in Photoshop. Should it work in Premiere Pro? Is there something I'm missing?                        

                        applicationActivate                       

                        com.adobe.csxs.events.ApplicationActivate                      

                        another_event Any thoughts or help would be much appreciated. Cheers!

I got that example to work in both PPro and Photoshop as an invisible panel. I'd like a visible panel to always be opened on PPro startup. When I changed AutoVisible to true and Type to Panel in the manifest.xml it works in Photoshop but not in PPro. What am I missing?

Nothing; PPro doesn't send ApplicationActivate on launch, just when it gets (re-)activated.

Possible, with extra work: Your invisible panel can get called at app launch, and open your visible panel.

CEP HTML Test Panel provides example code for panels opening other panels:
