- respond to other application's event<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>Hello
group,<BR><BR>I'm a beginner learning Python. Trying to automate
AutoCAD. What I wanted to know is how to receive event fired by the
AutoCAD application. When a drawing opening process is done, the
application will fire an event EndOpen. In VBA, I know how to catch and
respond to this event. But do not know how to accomplish it with
Python. <BR><BR><A
