Description Jeff Johnston CLA 2007-10-05 16:22:10 EDT 
Currently, if an IManagedOptionValueHandler is set up for a tool option, any modification to the option in the Build settings results in an EVENT_APPLY event.  These events occur while the user edits the option as well as when the user confirms the option via the Apply button.

A way is needed to distinguish when the option is actually confirmed via apply vs being edited by the end-user.  For example, if a dialog is required to warn the user about undesirable effects of their option choice.
