Fire Events When PropertyManager Page Opened and Canceled (VB.NET)

This example shows how to get the SolidWorks command ID, PropertyManager title, and whether the user interface is active. Events are fired before the PropertyManager page is opened and when it is canceled.

'------------------------------------------
' Preconditions:
' 1. Specified model document exists.
' 2. Add a reference to SolidWorks.Interop.swcommands.dll
' 3. Open the Immediate window.
' 4. Clear Tools > Options > Stop VSTA debugger on
'    macro exit, if it's selected.
' 5. Run the macro.
'
' Postconditions:
' 1. Specified file is opened.
' 2. CommandOpenPreNotify event fired.
' 3. Fillet PropertyManager page opened.
' 4. Title of PropertyManager page, whether the
'    user interface is active, and whether the command ID
'    is a fillet, are printed to the Immediate window.
' 5. Interactively click the X on the Fillet
'    to cancel the PropertyManager page.
' 6. CommandCloseNotify event fired.
' 7. Interactively close the model document.
