Hi, You could use object events (link).

You could check for after update and then check for the document type you want this functionality to work on.

something like this (in the class): .....

string docType = "myDocType.test";

public override void Init()
{
   DocumentEvents.Update.After += Document_Update_After;
}

...

private void Document_Update_After(object sender, DocumentEventArgs e)
{
   if (e.Node.ClassName.ToLower() == docType)
   {
       AnotherFunction(e);
   }
}
...

Hope this helps.

As Adam mentioned, the global events are the best place to handle those types of actions, not in webparts. This way you know it will happen for every event for that particular document type.
