Trapping changes to configuration specific settings

[ronin2307]

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

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.
