Important

Puts a document on a server from a local computer, and sets the local document to read-only so that it cannot be edited locally.

public void CheckInWithVersion (bool saveChanges, ref object comments, bool makePublic, ref object versionType);

member this.CheckInWithVersion : bool * obj * bool * obj -> unit

Public Sub CheckInWithVersion (Optional saveChanges As Boolean, Optional ByRef comments As Object, Optional makePublic As Boolean, Optional ByRef versionType As Object)

Parameters

saveChanges: Boolean

true to save the document to the server location. The default is true.

comments: Object

Comments for the revision of the document being checked in (only applies if SaveChanges is set to true).

makePublic: Boolean

true to allow the user to publish the document after it is checked in.

versionType: Object

Specifies versioning information for the document.

Examples

The following code example uses the CanCheckin method to determine whether the document has been stored on a Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server. If the document has been stored on a server, then the example calls the CheckInWithVersion method to check in the document along with the specified comments and version number, save changes to the server location, and submit the document for the approval process. To use this example, run it from the ThisDocument class in a document-level project.

private void DocumentCheckIn()
{
    if (this.CanCheckin())
    {
        object comments = "My updates.";
        object version = Word.WdCheckInVersionType.wdCheckInMinorVersion;
        this.CheckInWithVersion(true, ref comments, true, ref version);                
    }
    else
    {
        MessageBox.Show("This document cannot be checked in");
    }
}

Private Sub DocumentCheckIn()
    If Me.CanCheckin() Then
        Dim comments As Object = "My updates."
        Dim version As Object = _
            Word.WdCheckInVersionType.wdCheckInMinorVersion
        Me.CheckInWithVersion(True, comments, True, version)
    Else
        MessageBox.Show("This document cannot be checked in")
    End If
End Sub

Remarks

Setting the MakePublic parameter to true submits the document for the approval process, which can eventually result in a version of the document being published to users with read-only rights to the document (only applies if SaveChanges is set to true).

To take advantage of the collaboration features built into Word, documents must be stored on a Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server.
