EA_OnPreNewPackage

This event occurs when a user drags a new Package from the Toolbox or Resources window onto a diagram, or by selecting the New Package icon from  the Project Browser. The notification is provided immediately before the Package is created, so that the Add-In can disable addition of the Package.
