	DeclarationText	Gets or sets the declaration of the object.
	DisplayName	Gets the name used in the user interface for this output group.
	DocComment	Gets the document comment for the current code model element.
	DTE	Gets the top-level extensibility object.
	EndPoint	Gets the edit point that is the location of the end of the code item.
	EndPointOf	Returns the end point of the object.
	Extender	Returns the requested Extender object if it is available for this object.
	ExtenderCATID	Gets the Extender category ID (CATID) for the object.

Methods

	Name	Description
	AddAttribute	Creates a new attribute code construct and inserts the code in the correct location.
	GetEndPoint	Gets a TextPoint object that marks the end of the code element definition.

Remarks

The VCCodeVariable object is used to modify an existing variable construct.

Note

A large part of the functionality of this object is provided by the Visual Studio CodeVariable object. For more information, see CodeVariable object.

See How to: Compile Example Code for Visual C++ Code Model Extensibility for information on how to compile and run this sample.

Examples

This example retrieves all variables of the current solution and displays each name in a message box. It assumes a default MFC project is open.

Sub GetAllVars()
    Dim vcCM As VCCodeModel
    Dim vcVar As VCCodeVariable
    vcCM = DTE.Solution.Item(1).CodeModel
    For Each vcVar in vcCM.Variables
        MsgBox(vcVar.DisplayName)
    Next
End Sub
