Capture Tag and Untag operation

[Charu Rajput]

Hello all,

Is there a way to capture or any event that is fired in Indesign when user tag or untag page elements from Tags panel?

Hey

How's it going?

What is happening here - what are you trying to achieve? 

It's not very clear from what you describe.

Hi,

Here is what I am doing.

1. I have two tags in my Tags panel named as "text" and "image" as shown below

2. When I select the frame, and click on "image" tag, I want to know that some item is tagged, so that I can do some processing as soon as frame is tagged.

var _tag = app.menuActions.itemByName("$ID/Tag Frame...")
_tag.addEventListener("beforeInvoke", function(){
    alert("tag")
})

var _unTag = app.menuActions.itemByName("$ID/Untag Frame")
_unTag.addEventListener("beforeInvoke",  function(){
    alert("Un tag")
})

Above code, is working when I untag frame from menu actions(by selecting frame --> right click --> Untag frame), which makes sense because event is attached to the menu action.

Following issue in above script

a) it is not working when I do Untag operation from Tags panel

b) Tag Frame event not working even tagging from the menu or from Panel. Am I using wrong name of events or wrong event listeners.
