Checkin dialog for CAD software other than Autodesk's CAD Applications.

[pranit_awale]

I’m currently using the FileManager.CheckinFile(...) approach to check in files programmatically, which works fine. However, I would like to perform the check-in using a dialog window (similar to the standard Vault Check-In UI) so the user can enter details like comments, associations, and options directly.

Is there a way to invoke a built-in Vault Check-In dialog through the VDF, or do I need to build a custom form for this? Any guidance or examples would be greatly appreciated.

You will need to build a custom form. There are samples on how to apply theme colors (Vault 2026 SDK, HelloWorld) or leverage the full themes' capabilities and Vault UI control behavior using DevExpress (requires DevExpress WinForms license) here: Autodesk.TS.PlmDesktopExtensions/Autodesk.TS.VltPlmAddIn/VaultExplorerExtension.cs at master · koech..., Autodesk.TS.PlmDesktopExtensions/Autodesk.TS.VltPlmAddIn/Forms/XtraFormFmLogin.cs at master · koechl....

I hope this helps.
