Prevent Admin from Checking In File Example (C#)

This example shows how to prevent Admin from checking in a file that was not checked out by Admin.

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. Ensure that a file in the targeted vault is checked out by a user 
//     other than Admin.
//  5. Log into the targeted vault as Admin.
//  6. Click Debug > Start Debugging or press F5.
//
// Postconditions: 
// 1. Displays the Access Check-in Flags in Check in Dialog dialog box.
// 2. Select the vault view where you are logged in as Admin.
// 3. Click Select checked-out files to check in.
//    a. Displays the Select files dialog box.
//    b. Click the file verified as checked out by a user other than 
//       Admin.
//    c. Click Open.
// 4. Click Create batch check-in
//    a. Displays message boxes with callback information.
//    b. Click OK to close each message box.
//    c. Displays a message box verifying that the batch check-in 
//       was created. 
//    d. Click OK to close the message box.
// 5. Click Update check-in flags.
//    a. Displays a message box verifying that check-in flags were updated.
//    b. Click OK to close the message box.
// 6. Click Check in files.
//    a. Displays the Check in dialog box.
//    b. Select the Check in check box.
//    c. Click the Check in button.
//    d. Displays message boxes with callback information.
//    e. Click OK to close each message box.
//    f. Displays an error message informing you that the file is not
//       checked out by Admin. 
//    g. Click OK to close the error message.
// 7. Open a Windows Explorer view of the selected vault and verify that the 
//    file that you selected to check in is still checked out.
// 8. Close the Access Check-in Flags in Check in Dialog dialog box.
