COM API: New Event for markup please

JimTowler

I'd like to be able to keep various Notes etc in an external tool, but for now the API does not provide quite enough hooks.

Please can we have a new Event that fires when a user adds a marker to a resource?

Maybe fire on adding a custom Highlighter, or after every Highlighter. In my example below, I have created a Highlight code called "Notes" and added it to the text. If that fired the event, I could obtain the resource and range from the Panel, and save this in my external tool.

Something like:

MarkerAdded(Panel : Object, MarkerName : String) Raised when a panel is activated. Panel is a Panel object, MarkerName holds the name of the applied Highlight.

I'd like to be able to do something like:

IF MarkerName = "Notes" THEN

do something with the resource and start refs

END IF

Actually, I ALMOST get what I need now, except:

1) I don't really know that parts (A) and (B) below are connected.
2) I don't know if the text selection was undone just before clicking a highlight code
3) I don't know that a highlight code was selected, or which one, and I would want it to also fire after using the shortcut for the highlight code, rather than needing the Highlight panel open.

Some debug code from what I get now, if I select some text and click a highlight code on it.

[A - Selecting some text in Luke 13]
