Select Multiple Objects for Selection Boxes Example (C#)
This example shows how to select multiple objects and add the selected
objects to different selection boxes on a PropertyManager page.
//-------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1
Copy
SolidWorksMacro.cs
to your project.
// 2. Copy
class clsPropMgr.cs to your
project.
// 3. Add the
SolidWorks.Interop.swpublished primary interop assembly
//
reference (right-click the name of project,
select
Add Reference,
//
and select
SolidWorks.Interop.swpublished
on the .NET tab.)
// 4. Ensure
that the namespace and class names in the sample code
//
match that of your C# project.
// 5. Ensure that the
assembly document opened by the macro exists.
// 6. Run the macro.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Specified assembly document opens.
// 2. A PropertyManager page is created,
// three selected faces
appear in the top selection
// box, and two selected
faces appear in the bottom
// selection box.
// 3. Close the PropertyManager page.
// NOTE:
//
*
After running this
macro, select the
//
Tools > Options > System Options > Stop VSTA
debugger
//
on macro exit checkbox.
//
*
Because the assembly
document is used elsewhere,
//
do not save any changes when closing the document.
