Tracking item use

UseContainerItem is used in more cases than just using an item. It also (if I remember correctly) sells items to merchants, places them in mail messages, and adds them to/removes them from the bank, amongst other things.
A list of things can seemingly be found at WoWwiki:

I guess in order to successfully use hooking UseContainerItem for your purpose, you will need checks to see if any of those windows are open.


Just a general (and probably stupid question): did you check to see if using an item triggers any event other than BAG_UPDATE, using an addon such as DevTools?
