Catia V5 and VB6.0: How can I know when a ReferenceProduct is active or inactive

[Lea75]

So, that's the question.
I have several ReferenceProducts in the tree.
Some of them ara deactivated and I'd like to know by Automation the status of each one.

I use something similar for shapes: If oPart.IsInactive(oHole) = False Then...

How can I do the same with Products?
Hope somebody can help me.
Regards

I don't believe there are any direct calls to retrieve this information. But, each instance in an assembly has a Component Activation State parameter containing a boolean value: True = Activated False = Deactivated

And where I can find that parameter?
Or which is its name?

It is in the parameters collection of the Top Level Product. To see it in CATIA, select the Formula (Fx) command from the Knowledge toolbar with an assembly open then filter the parameters by the name Component*.
