Not with VS directly, you can with the SDK.

On the other hand, there could be a small workaround. Remember that saved views can have scripts assigned ? Well in there you can fake this event, find your object type in the layers that have been made active and do your thing. This would only work if you use your saved view to navigate to this layer.

Could you explain a bit more of what you are trying to achieve ?

I have a custom pio that generates a title block. I want to update it when the sheet layer is made active.

I believe even with VS you can choose to have plug-ins recalculate themselves whenever someone prints. Could this be a solution ?
