Fire Notification When Activating a Sheet Example (VB.NET)

This example shows how to fire a notification when a sheet is activated in a drawing document.

'-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Preconditions: Open public_documents\tutorial\advdrawings\foodprocessor.slddrw.
'
' Postconditions:
' 1. Displays a message box informing you that a sheet is about to be 
'    activated. 
' 2. Click OK to close the message box.
'
' NOTES: 
' * The IDrawingDoc ActivateSheetPostNotify event only fires
'   when a sheet is interactively activated in SOLIDWORKS; this event
'   does not fire when a sheet is activated through the API.
' * Because the drawing is used elsewhere, do not save changes.
