Create multiple rows callout using SOLIDWORKS API

This example demonstrates how to create a callout with multiple rows while selecting the object using ISelectionMgr::CreateCallout2 SOLIDWORKS API method.

{ width=640 height=354 }

First row of the displayed callout is not editable (read only). Value of second row can be changed. The changed value will be displayed in the message box.
