This enumeration specifies bitflags, returned from the method, that tell whether a file was checked out and/or changed.

The QueryEditFiles operation caused check out from source control, a new version was retrieved from the source control database, and the file was reloaded in memory (editor buffer or project/solution file). The caller may need to abort the initial operation that caused the edit if it cannot tolerate the newly reloaded content of the file—for example, if calculations made based on the content before the QueryEditFiles call may not apply to the new content).

The QueryEditFiles operation caused check out from source control and a new version was retrieved. If the file is opened in the IDE, QER_Reloaded will also be retuned.

These values indicate a project's willingness to work with choosing an enlistment (a local working copy of a project or solution that is under source control). Being able to choose an enlistment allows the user to change the location of a stored project when it is pulled from source control.

This project does not support enlistment choice. This is the same as if the project didn't implement the interface.

This project allows enlistment choice but does not require it.

This project requires the user to pick an enlistment.

These are the options a project can return indicating its willingness to work with a custom source control package.

This project does not have a custom source control package (this value is the same as not implementing the interface at all).

This project cannot be put under source control because the required custom source control package is not installed.

This project not only has a custom source control package, it also can be used immediately.

This project is offline and therefore cannot be added to source control at this time.

Provides additional members for the enumeration.
