How would I do that guys? This is really urgent and I have already spent two
days on it. Even if I get a little clue, I could work towards achieving this!
 
If you spend another two days trying such an event you will get closer to
finding it under the rainbow! Seriously though, no such event exists.

A partial workaround might be to maintain a list or collection of existing
shapes and compare periodically or in other events. If you are looking for
manually inserted shapes, typically after the insert user re-selects the
sheet triggering a selection change (if not same as previous active cell.).
Perhaps also look into trapping the click events of buttons on the toolbar
that user selects to insert a shape, then check the selection soon after. Of
course not all shapes are inserted via the Drawing toolbar.

A lot of work, unlikely to be accurate in real time but should be able to
catch up.
