Application events are issued by ArcGIS Pro and VertiGIS Studio Desktop Framework whenever certain situations occur. This type of application event can be, for example, changing a view in the current map, logging into a portal, or changing the visibility of a layer. An application event is considered a dynamic Entry Point. Unlike the other static Entry Points such as Results List or Ribbon, an application event isn't triggered by an icon on a toolbar, but rather the application itself.

To create a new Application Event Entry Point:

1.Open the Entry Point Manager.

2.Click Create.

3.Click Application Event from the Entry Point Type list.

4.In the Key section, enter a name and description.

5.In the Plug-In section, choose a provider from the dropdown.

6.Choose or enter a plugin. If you choose Application Action or Workflows, then a list of plugins are shown. Otherwise, you will manually enter the plugin text in the PlugIn field.

7.If the chosen plugin requires arguments, click Select. This opens the Entry Points Arguments window.

a.Enter Name/Value pairs until you have all of the required arguments for your plugin.

b.Click Close.

8.In the Event section, choose an event that will trigger the chosen plugin from step 5 above.

9.Click Apply to save your changes.
