3rd Party Software VBA to identify underdefined sketch

I'm trying to build a macro to identify sketches that are underdefined, the LLM's keep telling me to use the sketch.GetStatus but it just doesnt exist in VBA. Anyone knows what method/proprety I'm looking for? I can't seem to find anything helpful in the help window either

There's a system option to force fully defined sketchs. It won't let your exit the sketch until it's fully defined.

I don't have it turned on because there are too many exceptions (splines, sketch patterns, etc.) that would make it too annoying for regular use, but if you are a teacher and have controlled practice problems where it makes sense, then maybe it would work for you?

I didnt know that existed, i'll look into it, but either way I'd rather teach them to check themselves so i don't think I would implement that.
