Set All Assembly Components Lightweight or Resolved Example (VBA)

This example shows how to set all assembly components to either lightweight or resolved.

 

'-----------------------------------------------

'

' Preconditions: Assembly is open.

'

' Postconditions: All assembly components are set to either

'        lightweight or fully resolved.

'

' NOTE: To make components lightweight, you could also use:

'          * IComponent2::Select2

'          * IAssemblyDoc::MakeLightWeight

'        However, this requires selection, which tends to be

'        expensive.
