Catch new feature creation event from SOLIDWORKS API notification

This example listens for feature added event of the active part document using SOLIDWORKS API.

Once the new feature creation notification is caught, macro displays the message box to the user.

The listener is detached as soon as active part is closed.

Dim swApp As SldWorks.SldWorks

    Set swEventListener = New EventListener
    
    Dim swPart As SldWorks.PartDoc
    
    Set swPart = swApp.ActiveDoc
    
    swEventListener.SetPart swPart
    
    While swApp.ActiveDoc Is swPart
        DoEvents
    Wend
    
End Sub

Dim WithEvents swPart As SldWorks.PartDoc

Private Function swPart_AddItemNotify(ByVal EntityType As Long, ByVal itemName As String) As Long

        MsgBox itemName & " feature is added"
    End If
    
End Function

Sub SetPart(part As SldWorks.PartDoc)
    
    Set swPart = part
