How To Pin and Unpin Files in SourceSafe from OLE Automation in Visual C++ (257989)

SUMMARY

The OLE Automation for Visual SourceSafe does not directly expose the pinning functionality. You can use the functions in the "More Information" section of this article to pin and unpin a file from a Visual C++ program.

NOTE: This sample code assumes that you reference the Visual SourceSafe OLE Automation by using this code:

#import "path to ssapi.dll" no_namespace

MORE INFORMATION

This function pins a file:

int PinFile(IVSSItemPtr objItem, int version)
{
   // Pinning code
   IVSSItemPtr    objOldItem;
   IVSSItemPtr    objProject;
   CComVariant    varVer;

   varVer = version;

   objOldItem = objItem->GetVersion(varVer);
   objProject = objItem->GetParent();

   objProject->Share(objOldItem, "", 0);

   return 1;
}

This function unpins a file:

int UnpinFile(IVSSItemPtr objItem)
{
   // Unpinning code
   IVSSItemPtr    objOldItem;
   IVSSItemPtr    objProject;
   CComVariant    varVer = 0;

   objOldItem = objItem->GetVersion(varVer);
   objProject = objItem->GetParent();

   objProject->Share(objOldItem, "", 0);

   return 1;
}
