Event For An Item Being Edited

I am pretty sure this doesn't exist, but I'm looking for an event that would fire while a shape is being modified.


There is some polling and other events I would like to make sure do not happen while the user is changing a shape.  I want them to happen if the user just has the shape selected, though.

There are some examples I don't think I could do without some way to programmatically move a shape (other than .LoadEdits):

1) I have a "Dimension Line" which is a double arrow, and I draw text in the middle to represent the distance.  While one of the end points is being moved, I'd like to continuously move the text box back to the new middle.

2) I'd like to enable "snapping"- as the user moves an end point and that point approaches another shape's geometry, the point could "snap" to the other geometry.

3) I would really like to show a pop-up image enlargement of the circle around the moving point above the point, so that the user can accurately position it even though his/her finger is in the way.  

I realize the event alone won't allow those examples, but it progress toward getting there.

Currently, our development team validating your requirements. We will update further details on March 10, 2022.

Query 1: While one of the end points is being moved, I'd like to continuously move the text box back to the new middle. 
Currently, SfImageEditor control doesn’t have the support to get the shape bounds in order to move the text to the middle based on the shape bounds. We have already logged a feature request to get and set the shape bounds and it can be tracked through our feedback portal below. 
 
 
Please cast your vote to make it count. We will prioritize the features every release based on the demands, and since we don’t have an immediate plan to implement this feature and it will be included in any of our upcoming releases. 
 
If you have any more specifications/suggestions to the feature request, you can add them as a comment in the portal. 
 
Query 2 & Query 3: I'd like to enable "snapping" and I would really like to show a pop-up image enlargement of the circle around the moving point above the point, so that the user can accurately position 
 
Since we are not aware of your actual application scenario, we are unable to exactly understand your requirement. So, could you please share any picture representation or web link or video which explains your requirement. It will help us validate your requirement clearly and earlier.
