This example shows how to get and encapsulate text messages in the Admin's inbox in a vault.
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 MessageCSharp in Name. // c. Click Browse and browse 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 // Assembly > 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, click Add, and click Close). // 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. Ensure that one or more text messages exist in the inbox of // Admin in a vault. // a. Log into a vault as Admin. // b. Open a File Explorer window for that vault. // c. Click Tools > Inbox. // d. Click Text Messages. // e. If no text messages are listed, send a text message to Admin. // 1. Click New mail message. // 2. Type Admin in To. // 3. Type Test Get messages in Subject. // 4. Type Testing Get messages in the body of the message. // 5. Click Send. // 6. Wait until you receive the SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional // message notification before executing the next step. // 5. Click Debug > Start Debugging or press F5. // // Postconditions: // 1. Displays the Get Messages dialog. // 2. Select the vault that you examined or where you sent Admin // a text message in Preconditions step 4. // 3. Click Get messages. // 4. Displays a message box for each text message in Admin's inbox // in the selected vault. The message box contains encapsulated // information about the text message. // 5. Click OK to close each message box. // 6. Close the Get Messages dialog box. //----------------------------------------------------------------------------
