Trapping changes to configuration specific settings

Trapping changes to configuration specific settings

Trapping changes to configuration specific settings

(OP)
Hi,

I am trying to find a way (if possible) to trap an event that is triggered when the configuration specific setting for a part has changed.

I am using VB.Net but and I am totally new to SW API.

Any Help will be appreciated.
Thanx

not really.

I have an addin already (created by the wizard) and I can do some simple things.

I have tried to implement the following event trap with no success

ChangeCustomPropertyNotify

RE: Trapping changes to configuration specific settings

ronin2307,

I was new to SW API once too (and am still learning), so I can relate to your frustration.  Unfortunately, I do not use VB.net.  I have heard the syntax is different than VB6.  I will offer this.  I downloaded VB_Events.zip example off the SW website a while back because I am working on an interactive program to set/change properties in a weldment cutlist.  I just ran that macro and added a custom property to a model.  The macro trapped the add event, told me the property name, the configuration, the value and the value type.  I then changed the property and the macro trapped the change event, told me the property changed its old and new value and the configuration changed.  I suggest downloading it and looking over this example program.  I have found it very helpful.

Regards,

Regg
