I think there isn't any event. The add-on StowIt uses EVENT_PLAYER_COMBAT_STATE, but obviously that doesn't trigger if you just press the keybind.

TogglePlayerWield changes the weapon state. You could do something like this:

Lua Code:

local old_toggle = TogglePlayerWield
TogglePlayerWield = function(...)
    d("weapon state is changed")
    old_toggle(...)
end

I tried to sheathe weapons with my screenshot helper addon automatically when I hide the UI some time after launch without luck.

You could maybe hook some functions, but there are also situations where weapons are drawn because of abilities cast by other players. Until we get an event or an api function for this, there is no reliable way to detect the current state.

No, there is no such thing.

You can do that, but it is not accurate. There are events when your character draw or seathe weapon without triggering this function. For example when you start combat, character automatically draws a weapon. When you start interaction, your character automatically sheathe a weapon.
You will have to do more then just this hook.

This thread is covering an area I have started to research. I have been looking for a way to determine when a skill outside of combat is used, such as Rapid Maneuvers, which causes a weapon draw, so an addon can auto sheath it. I understand how to use an in combat call back, but I have not figured out how to do this properly yet. Any ideas?

Are these events any use?

EVENT_ACTIVE_WEAPON_PAIR_CHANGED (integer eventCode, integer activeWeaponPair, bool locked)
EVENT_WEAPON_SWAP_LOCKED (integer eventCode, integer swapLevel)
EVENT_ACTION_SLOTS_FULL_UPDATE (integer eventCode, bool isHotbarSwap)

Is there a reason that there is no EVENT_WIELD_CHANGED or similar? Could it be exploited?
