Rebuild and Rollback Event Handler Example (VBA)

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. Check Stop VSTA debugger on macro exit in

'     Tools > Options > System Options > General.

'

'  NOTE: Do not save the assembly document,

'  as it is used in a SolidWorks tutorial.
