Set comment with API

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to programmatically add comment to the last checked in file in the vault repository. I know the Source Gear client can do this operation but I wat to do it in an automated program that will put the comment after the file will be check in not at the same time. I checked the API and the only thing I found was InternalChangeSet_SetItemComment is it the right function and if so how should I use it.

Thank You

I believe what you will want here is:

ClientInstance.Connection.UpdateTxComment(repID, transactionID, 0, comment);

You can get transactionID from VaultHistoryItem.TxID

It seems you are right with UpdateTxComment but I can't find any information on VaultHistoryItem.TxID. How can I find the TransactionId if I have the version and the filename of the file that I want to change the comments in the history

Thanks

You'll want to run a history query such as is mentioned here: http://support.sourcegear.com/viewtopic.php?t=450
