return to macro after runcommand
i have a form with a button that, on the click event, hides the userform and executes this line of code:
model.extension.selectbyid2 "detailitem51@sheet format1", "note", 0, 0, 0, false, 0, nothing, 0
model.extension.runcommand swcommands_edit_text, "edit drawing notes"
gui.hide
after the user has finished editing or entering the notes, how do i resume the macro? i can run the command easy enough, my problem is how to return once the user clicks on the check box in the featmgr or deselects the note. should i add:
stop
gui.show
i'm not familiar with stop or doevents; but would those be in the right direction of what i need to do? thanks!

i did a little digging and found the "run solidworks commands example" in the api help; can this apply to userforms as well per my example above?

the example doesn't help much. i have been looking into using propertymanagerpage2handler5:nclose, but the api help doesn't tell me how to get a current/active property manager page, only how to create a stackable instance. when i execute runcommand swcommands_edit_text, the note propertymanagerpage shows, but i don't know how to:
1. stop the code,
2. let the user edit the notes accordingly, and
3. return to the vba macro and unhide the form. (well, i know how to unhide the form.)
the way the api help puts it, only an add-in can use the propertymanagerpage2 to create instances and not to get an instance of a property page. can anyone shed some light on this and help me to understand how i am supposed to do this properly? thank you.
