Hi Rajath, I told you that I am off for 4 days and have limited time. There is still enough to do to improve the code and to cleanup. Implement as default that the document is opened readonly. Later on the file open dialog have to be extended to show the checkin/checkout commands in the context menu. Or even better a sidebar will provide a separate view on the files and show the commands explicitly. For test purposes you can also add a toolbar with 2 buttons to checkin/checkout the currently active document if it is from a cmsi storage. It's your project, you should drive it. Think what's useful and make sense. If you prefer a dialog to ask every time you can do that as well. Get the desktop and the current frame to get a parent window for the dialog. Examples are in the SDK as I told you. The code have to be adapted to your code but in general the samples are there. The question is if you want to ask when the document is opened or only if the user try to save. When save than only if it is not yet checked out. And ask when a checked out document is closed if the user want to check in. Think about the usecases and think what would be best to help the user to fulfill his task and to avoid mistakes, what would be a good workflow.
