What messages can you listen for in FrontScripts? I know user input messages can be intercepted there, but I am not sure about what other engine Messages, or if it is possible to listen for custom messages.
You can trap anything in a frontScript by just adding a handler with the name of the handler you want to trap.
If you want to trap every message, command, and function call you can use the undocumented messageHandled message.
Note that the messageHandled message is not sent by default. To activate it you'll need to set the undocumented messageMessages global property to true.
If you use messageHandled, be aware that it will be called for EVERYTHING, so it may make a noticeable difference in performance. Useful for temporary diagnostic logging, but I don't use it for anything else.
An example of messageHandled use is in the 4W Flight Recorder tool in Stacks section of RevNet - in the IDE choose Development->Plugins->GoRevNet.
