Fire Notification When Changing Configuration of Reference Component Example (C#)

This example shows how to fire an event when changing the configuration of a reference component.

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

// Preconditions:

// 1. Open an assembly document that contains at least one

//    subassembly (i.e., reference component) that has

//    multiple configurations.

// 2. Make sure that the Tools > Options > Stop VSTA debugger on macro exit

//    checkbox is not selected.

// 3. Run this macro in debug mode (press F5).

// 4. Right-click a subassembly and select Configure component.

// 5. In the Configuration column on the Modify Configurations

//    dialog, select a different configuration and click OK.

//

// Postcondition:

// 1. A message box is displayed informing

//    you that the component's configuration is

//    being changed. Check the taskbar for the

//    message box.

// 2. Click OK to close the message box and

//    the Modify Configurations dialog.
