Enterprise Architect Add-in Framework Documentation
EA_OnPreNewConnector notifies Add-Ins that a new connector is about to be created on a diagram. It enables Add-Ins to permit or deny creation of a new connector. This event occurs when a user drags a new connector from the Toolbox or Resources window, onto a diagram. The notification is provided immediately before the connector is created, so that the Add-In can disable addition of the connector. Also look at EA_OnPostNewConnector.
