This example shows how to graph a workflow.
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 PaintWorkflowGraph_CSharp 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.
// 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, and click Add).
// 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 Graph
a workflow dialog box.
// 2. Maximize the dialog box for the workflow graph.
// 3. Select a vault view.
// 4. Click a workflow.
// 5. Click Graph
workflow.
//
6. Graphs the selected workflow in the dialog box.
// 7. Close the Graph
a workflow dialog box.
