Selective Open Post-Notify Event Example (C#)

This example shows how to handle the post-notification event that fires when components are selected for Quick View/Selective Open.

//------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Verify that the specified assembly to open
//    exists.
// 2. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. If the Large Design Review dialog displays,
//    then click OK to close it.
// 2. When prompted, select the components to open
//    and click Open Selected.
// 3. Click OK to close the message box.
// 4. If prompted to rebuild, then click Rebuild.
// 5. After reading the next message box displayed,
//    click OK to close it.
// 6. Displays only the selected components.
// 7. Inspect the Immediate Window and graphics area.
//
// NOTE: Because the assembly is used elsewhere, do not save
// changes.
