Namespace:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell
Assembly:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Protected Overridable Sub ActivateObjects
'Usage
Me.ActivateObjects()
protected virtual void ActivateObjects()
protected:
virtual void ActivateObjects()
protected function ActivateObjects()

Remarks

ActivateObjects allows an object to respond when it is selected.

The base implementation of ActivateObjects has no effect on the VSPackage. It is provided so that derived classes can provide an implementation if necessary. To enable ActivateObjects, override the base implementation. This protected virtual method is called when the when the selected objects change and need to be ‘activated’. This corresponds to the ISelectionContainer method SelectObjects(UInt32, Object, UInt32) when called with the SELOBJ_ACTIVATE_WINDOW flag.

Notes to Implementers:

Override ActivateObjects when your VSPackage includes selectable objects that need to respond when activated. The method's default implementation is empty.
