Hello guys, I just got into macro writting in VBScript and i got requested to prepare macro which checks if particular sketch was published and if it has proper name (if possibly change color of notpublished sketch / wrong named publication). It all happens in product assembly which includes many subproducts with parts in it. As i did research i couldn't find exact way to automatize it, i've found many macros which can delete not linked publications but those are not what im looking for.
Everything should happen after:

If (intRC = vbYes) Then
Dim productDocument1
Set productDocument1 = CATIA.ActiveDocument

Dim partDocument1

Dim selection1
Set selection1 = productDocument1.Selection

Dim InputObjectType(0)
InputObjectType(0) = "Product"


status= selection1.SelectElement3(InputObjectType, "Choose console", False, CATMultiSelectionMode.CATMultiSelTriggWhenUserValidatesSelection, False)
Dim selected_object

Set selected_object = selection1.Item(1).Value

I made some improvements, now i can find publications but can i make a condition to search only in publications or do i need to select it by myself?
