Addin Lifecycle Event Handlers

When you create a Markdown Monster add-in you effectively have access to all of Markdown Monster's feature set. Not all the functionality is easily accessible, but a number of common features are surfaced on the MarkdownMonsterAddin base class that your Addin is inheriting from.

• Add-in Events
• Add-in Common Feature Methods

LifeTime Events

• OnApplicationStart()
• OnApplicationInitialized()
• OnWindowLoaded()
• OnApplicationShutdown()

Installation Events

• OnInstalled()
• OnUninstalled()

Document Related Events

In addition to the main Execute events, the add-in exposes a number of document related events that you can intercept as well:

• OnBeforeOpenDocument()
• OnAfterOpenDocument()
• OnBeforeSaveDocument()
• OnAfterSaveDocument()
• OnSaveImage()
• OnNotifyAddin()
• OnEditorCommand()
• OnDocumentActivated()

Previewer Handling

• OnModifyPreviewHtml()
• OnPreviewLinkNavigation()

You can override these events to hook the specific operations you are interested in.

For example if you want to add custom logic when a document is saved you can do something like this:

public override bool OnBeforeSaveDocument(MarkdownDocument doc)
{
    string file = doc.Filename;
    string text = doc.CurrentText;
    bool isValid = true;
    
    
    // ...
    // do something with the document
    // You can use 'Model' to access Window, Configuration, Editor etc.
    // ...
    
    return isValid;
}

You can simply override the relevant methods and look at the active document.
