C++ Plugin, how to handle AddRhinoObject, DeleteRhinoObject, etc?

I have a working C++ plugin with several commands.

Now I want my plugin to react when an object is added, edited or deleted. I found the sample for https://developer.rhino3d.com/guides/cpp/custom-undo-events/, but having trouble translating that to how to correctly implement add/edit/delete handlers in my code. (From what I have read so far, it appears that an edit = delete+add, so a separate edit handler may not be needed.)

Hi @mgraham,

To handle Rhino events, you will want to inherit a class from CRhinoEventWatcher and override the virtual functions related to the events you are interested in.

There is sample worth reviewing in the developer samples repository on GitHub.

That was very helpful, thanks

Related question, can I turn the watcher on and off from another command? I want to add a dialog to allow the user to toggle the watcher state.

Of course - the sample command in the project does this.

cmdSampleEventWatcher.cpp

I see, can replace the command line prompts with a call to my dialog, which makes more sense than what I was envisioning.
