Get BOM Balloon Properties Example (C#)

This example shows how to get the properties of a BOM balloon.

//----------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Verify that the specified assembly document to open
//    exists.
// 2. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Opens the specified assembly document.
// 2. Inserts a BOM table.
// 3. Inserts a BOM balloon.
// 4. Gets and sets the BOM ballon's properties.
// 5. Examine the Immediate window.
//
// NOTE: Because this assembly is used elsewhere, do not save
// changes.
