iLogic Vault Check In Active Document

[chendersonCRKPU]

Hi All,

I'm experimenting with the new iLogic Vault snippets in Inventor 2024.

Can someone suggest how I can alter the code of the 'Check In Active Document' snippet to automatically select OK when the check in dialog box appears? I don't want any manual intervention from the user during this process.

Try
	ThisDoc.Save
	Dim oControlDef As Inventor.ControlDefinition
	oControlDef = ThisApplication.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item("VaultCheckinTop")
	oControlDef.Execute2(True)
Catch ex As Exception
	Logger.Error("Undo Check-In failed; likely, the file wasn't checked out.")
End Try

You could try something like this:

'Validate user's login state
If iLogicVault.LoggedIn = False
	msgbox("Not Logged In to Vault! - Login first and repeat executing this rule.")
	Exit Sub
End If

iLogicVault.AddFile(ThisDoc.Document.FullFileName, "$/Designs", True)
msgbox("done")

While this works there are a couple of drawbacks to this method:

1. It doesn't automatically include dependent child files in the check in
2. If checking in a drawing, the code does not work if the drawing file is open.

I discovered the following code that achieves the check in automatically without user input:

Dim oControlDef As Inventor.ControlDefinition
oControlDef = ThisApplication.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item("VaultCheckinTop")
oControlDef.Execute2(False)
System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.SendWait("" & Chr(9) & vbCrLf)

Hey guys, did you ever have any trouble using:

System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.SendWait("" & Chr(9) & vbCrLf)

It worked for me the other day but seems unreliable

introducing Threading.Thread.Sleep delays doesn't seem to help

i just tried now and it works, it automatically goes to ok

The command is not 100% automatic/background. It requires Inventor to stay in focus to work. I put this bit before the SendKeys to try to ensure inventor has focus even if the user has clicked away or some program has stolen focus. Though there is a chance it may not always work, but it seems more reliable in my case.
