      automation.ShowObjectPropertiesDialog(); 
   else 
      MessageBox.Show("Cannot show the object properties dialog because no object is currently being edited (selected)"); 
}

Remarks

Call the CanShowObjectPropertiesDialog property to determine whether the object's Properties dialog can be displayed at this time. The dialog used is AnnAutomationManager.ObjectPropertiesDialogType. If the value of AnnAutomationManager.ObjectPropertiesDialogType is null (Nothing in Visual Basic), this method will not do anything.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 family, Windows Server 2008 family
