Example

The following example shows how the ProjectTaskNew event can be used to listen to project-level events (in this case, the Change event). The same can also be applied to ProjectResourceNew and ProjectAssignmentNew events as well.

  1. Create a new class module called "EventClassModule." Insert the following code:
    Visual Basic for Applications 
    

    Option Explicit
Option Base 1
    

    Public WithEvents App As Application
Public WithEvents Proj As Project
    

    Dim NewTaskIDs() As Integer
Dim NumNewTasks As Integer
    

    Dim ProjTaskNew As Boolean
    

    Private Sub App_ProjectTaskNew(ByVal pj As Project, ByVal ID As Long)
NumNewTasks = NumNewTasks + 1
    

    If ProjTaskNew Then
    ReDim Preserve NewTaskIDs(NumNewTasks) As Integer
Else
    ReDim NewTaskIDs(NumNewTasks) As Integer
End If

NewTaskIDs(NumNewTasks) = ID

ProjTaskNew = True

    

    End Sub
    

    Private Sub Proj_Change(ByVal pj As Project)
Dim NewTaskID As Variant
    

    If ProjTaskNew Then
    For Each NewTaskID In NewTaskIDs
        MsgBox "New Task Name: " & ActiveProject.Tasks.UniqueID(NewTaskID).Name
    Next NewTaskID

    NumNewTasks = 0

    ProjTaskNew = False  
End If

    

    End Sub

    2. In a separate module, insert the following code:
    Visual Basic for Applications 
      Option Explicit

    Dim X As New EventClassModule
    

    Sub Initialize_App()
Set X.App = MSProject.Application
Set X.Proj = Application.ActiveProject
End Sub

    3. Run the Initialize\_App procedure to start listening to the events. 4. Create a new task, and the event causes a message box to pop up every time a new task is added.
