ControlDefinition VaultCheckin does not work

Hello,

I programmed a little tool in VB.net which does stuff like update iProperties.

To help the engineers in the workflow I want to automatically check-in new files into Vault (so that they don´t need to go over the built-in tools).

Is used the ControlDefinition VaultCheckinTop which works flawless, but the problem is when creating a element inside an assembly and only want to check-in that element, the mentioned control does not work (because it would check-in the main assembly).

But the ControlDefinition VaultCheckin does seems to not work at all (no matter if I use the method Execute() or Execute2(true).

My code (excerpt) is as follow:

Dim oDoc As Document invApp As Inventor.Application oDoc = invApp.ActiveEditDocument Dim oControl As ControlDefinition oControl = invApp.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item("VaultCheckin") oControl.Execute()

Perhaps this might work if the part file is in edit mode and is the active document.

You could also open the part in it’s own document this way the file is the active document and not the assembly and then use VaultCheckinTop.

Sadly it does not work when the file is in edit mode. Even if I active it by code (.Activate()) it does not work.
That I can use VaultCheckinTop when only the file is open I know. It was the exact point that it should work inside an assembly.
Maybe someone else have any experience with this issue?
