PDME Addin: How to determine if current user has file checked out?

1-FEIR6G Jan 4, 2009 6:36 PM

In PDMWorks Enterprise, does anyone know how to determine if the user who initiated a command has the selected file already checked out.

My addin requires that the selected file be checked out to perform the action. I think I can handle the exception E_EDM_FILE_NOT_LOCKED_BY_YOU, but I would rather test for this condition so that an exception is not thrown.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Justin

Here is a snippet that you may find helpful?

If objFile.IsLocked Then 'is it locked by me?
Dim userMgr As IEdmUserMgr5
userMgr = v8
Dim user As IEdmUser5
user = userMgr.GetLoggedInUser
If user.Name = objFile.LockedByUser.Name Then 'the file is already checked out by me
CheckoutFile = True
End If
userMgr = Nothing
user = Nothing
End If

  Thanks Jeff!
  
  I missed the GetLoggedInUser method in the IEdmUserMgr5 interface. I could determine who had the file locked, I just couldn't figure out who the current user was. I appreciate the help.
