Access Check-in Flags in Check in Dialog Example (C#)
This example shows how to access the check-in flags in the
SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional Check in dialog.
NOTE: If using the primary interop assembly
provided with SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional, see
Using .NET Framework 4.0 in
Stand-alone Applications.

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Start Microsoft Visual Studio.
// 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 PDM Professional 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.
