ToolBoxTab3.ListView Property
Gets or sets a value indicating whether items in a particular ToolBox tab display in List view or Icon view format.
Namespace: EnvDTE90
Assembly: EnvDTE90 (in EnvDTE90.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Property ListView As Boolean
bool ListView { get; set; }
property bool ListView {
bool get ();
void set (bool value);
}
abstract ListView : bool with get, set
function get ListView () : boolean
function set ListView (value : boolean)
Property Value
Type: System.Boolean
true if the ToolBox tab is in List view; otherwise, false.
Remarks
ListView applies on a tab-by-tab basis in the ToolBox. That is, one tab can have List view while another has Icon view.
The List and Icon views are similar to those in Windows Explorer. In List view, the contents of the Toolbox are listed as text descriptions, one after another, with an icon on the left side. In Icon view, each item is represented only by an icon. You can get a ToolTip description of the icon by rolling the mouse over it.
Examples
This example toggles the ListView property of a Toolbox tab. For more information about how to run this example as an add-in, see How to: Compile and Run the Automation Object Model Code Examples.
