Control Events- Revit API

I would like to control events of Load Families and Create Type with revit api. Someone can give me a direction ? I don't understand very well the documentation that I read.

First you need to subscribe to an event by creating an event listener in the IExternalApplication OnStartup method. 

public class AppCommand : IExternalApplication
{
    public Result OnStartup(UIControlledApplication application)
    {
        application.ControlledApplication.FamilyLoadedIntoDocument += OnFamilyLoaded;

        return Result.Succeeded;
    }
}

Next you need a handler for that event: 

private void OnFamilyLoaded(object sender, FamilyLoadedIntoDocumentEventArgs args)
{
    // do work here
}

When finished you need to unregister the event handler: 

public Result OnShutdown(UIControlledApplication application)
{
     application.FamilyLoadedIntoDocument -= OnFamilyLoaded;

     return Result.Succeeded;
}

The other events available that you can subscribe to are these:
