Rebuild and Rollback Event Handler Example (C#)

This example shows how to handle the pre-notification that is fired when an assembly document is rebuilt. It also shows how to handle the post-notification that is fired when an assembly document is either rebuilt or rolled back.

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

// Preconditions: Open:

// <install_dir>\samples\tutorial\cosmosfloxpress\ball valve\ball_valve.sldasm.

//

// Postconditions:

// 1.  A dialog pops up with the pre-notification of the rebuild

//     (check the taskbar for the minimized dialog).

// 2.  Click OK to close the dialog.

// 3.  The assembly is rebuilt.

// 4.  A dialog pops up with the post-notification of the rebuild

//     (check the taskbar for the minimized dialog).

// 5.  Click OK to close the dialog.

// 6.  Move rollback bar to just above Sketch1.

// 7.  A dialog pops up with the post-notification of the rebuild

//     (check the taskbar for the minimized dialog).

// 8.  Click OK to close the dialog.

// 9.  Observe the Immediate Window.

// 10. After moving the rollback bar several times,

//     click Reset in the IDE to disable the event handler.

// 11. Select Stop VSTA debugger on macro exit in

//     Tools > Options > System Options > General.

//

// NOTE: Do not save the assembly document,

// as it is used in SolidWorks tutorials.
