Fire Events When Display State Changes Example (C#)

This example shows how to fire the events related to changing display states of a configuration in an assembly document.

//---------------------------------------------------------------

// Preconditions:

//      (1) Open an assembly document that has  

//          a configuration with multiple display states.

//      (2) Run this macro in debug mode.

//      (3) Change the display state of

//          the active configuration in SolidWorks

//          (click the ConfigurationManager tab and double-click

//          a different display state).

//

// Postcondition: A message box is displayed informing

//          you that the display state is about

//          change. After the display state changes,

//          another message box is displayed

//          informing you that the display

//          state has changed.
