Get Files in Workflow State Example (C#)
This example shows how to get all of the files in a
particular workflow state.
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 GetFilesInState_CSharp 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.
// 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, and click Add).
// 3. Add Microsoft.VisualBasic as a reference (click COM in the left-side panel,
// click Microsoft.VisualBasic, click Add, and click Close).
// 4. Right-click EPDM.Interop.epdm in References, click Properties, and set
// Embed Interop Types to False to handle methods that pass arrays of
// structures.
// 5. Ensure that you have at least one approved file in the vault.
// 6. Click Debug > Start Debugging or press F5.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Displays the Get
files in state dialog box.
// 2. Select a vault view.
// 3. Click Get
approved files.
//
4. Displays a message box with all of the files in the Approved state
// for each workflow in the vault.
// 5. Click OK in each message box.
// 6. Close the Get
files in state dialog box.
