Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM IS PERMANENT RESTRICTION IN Virtual Design
  Additional Closure Information:
  .
  Incident Diagnosis:
  The Update icon remains enable when script is run through
  visual editor.
  In the script update of root product is done , which ideally
  should update the product and disable update icon status.
  However over here only the update is done and no change in
  icon is possible.
  Reason:
  When the script is run through the visual editor, script end
  notification is not send to update, which in turn calculate
  the update status and handle the icon enable/disable status.
  When the script is run through run command(dialog) in CATIA,
  as the dailog is with us, when the script is ended a
  notification is send on which update status is calculated.
  As no notification comes from visual editor as control is
  with Microsoft we cannot compute the update status.
