Hi,

depending on your CommandData implementation you have two options.

a) If it's a simple CommandData with no dialogs attached, you don't need any event or message at all. You can simply use GetActiveMaterial(), store it's return value somewhere and compare it on the next execution of the command.

b) A CommandData with an asynchronous dialog. Here you can override CoreMessage() in your GeDialog and listen to EVMSG_MATERIALSELECTION.
