Access Check-in Flags in Check in Dialog Example (C#)

This example shows how to access the check-in flags in the SolidWorks Enterprise PDM Check in dialog.

NOTE: If using the .NET Framework 4.0 primary interop assembly provided with SolidWorks Enterprise PDM, see Using .NET Framework 4.0 in Stand-alone Applications.

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
//  1. Start Microsoft Visual Studio 2010.
//     a. Click File > New > Project > Visual C# > Windows Forms Application.
//     b. Type RefItemContainerCSharp in Name.
//     c. Click Browse and navigate to the folder where to create the project. 
//     d. Click OK.
//     e. Click Show All Files in the Solution Explorer toolbar and expand 
//        Form1.cs in the Solution Explorer.
//     f. Replace the code in Form1.cs with this code.
//     g. To create the form, replace the code in Form1.Designer.cs with 
//        this code.
//     h. To create the class for the callback:
//        1. Right-click RefItemContainerCSharp in the Solution Explorer.
//        2. Click Add > Class.
//        3. Type Callback.cs in Name and click Add.
//        4. Replace the code in Callback.cs with this code.
//  2. Add EPDM.Interop.epdm.dll as a reference (right-click the project
//     name in the Solution Explorer, click Add Reference, click 
//     Assemblies > Framework in the left-side panel, browse to the top folder of 
//     your SolidWorks Enterprise PDM installation, locate and click 
//     EPDM.Interop.epdm.dll, click Open, click Add, and click Close).
//  3. Right-click EPDM.Interop.epdm in References, click Properties, and set 
//     Embed Interop Types to False to handle methods that pass arrays of 
//     structures.
//  4. Click Debug > Start Debugging or press F5.
//
// Postconditions: 
//  1. Displays the Access Check-in Flags in Check in Dialog dialog box.
//  2. Select a vault view.
//  3. Click Select checked-out files to check in.
//     a. Displays the Select files dialog box.
//     b. Click one or more checked-out files to check in.
//     c. Click Open.
//  4. Click Create batch check-in
//     a. At the end of an attempted check-in, displays three message 
//        boxes containing ProgressEnd called. Three operations occur for an 
//        attempted check-in.
//     b. Click OK to close each message box.
//     c. Displays either:
//        * Message box containing Batch check-in created. Click OK to 
//          close the message box.
//          - or -
//        * Message box containing You did not select a file to check in. Please try 
//          again. Click OK to close the message box, and repeat steps 3 and 4.
//  5. Click Update check-in flags.
//  6. Click OK to close the message box.
//  7. Click Check in files.
//  8. Displays the Check in dialog box.
//  9. Click Check in to check in the files or Cancel to cancel the check in.
// 10. Displays a message box containing ProgressEnd called. Click OK to close
//     the message box.
// 11. Examine the files in the vault to verify their checked-in or checked-out status.
// 12. Close the Access Check-in Flags in Check in Dialog dialog box.
