Syntax

'Declaration
Public Function CanCheckin As Boolean
public bool CanCheckin()

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if Microsoft Office Word can check in the document to a server; otherwise, false.

Remarks

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

Examples

The following code example uses the CanCheckin method to determine whether the document has been stored on a Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server. If the document has been stored on a server, then the example calls the CheckIn method to check in the document, 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 Sub DocumentCheckIn()
    If CanCheckin() = True Then
        Me.CheckIn(True, "My updates.", True)
    Else
        MessageBox.Show("This document cannot be checked in")
    End If
End Sub
private void DocumentCheckIn()
{
    if (this.CanCheckin())
    {
        object comments = "My updates.";
        this.CheckIn(true, ref comments, true);
    }
    else
    {
        MessageBox.Show("This document cannot be checked in");
    }
}
