	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 VCCodeIDLCoClass object represents a CoClass code element from the .idl file of the parent solution. Primarily, this object is used to access the elements of an existing CoClass code element.

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 the first CoClass code statement and displays it in a message box.

Sub GetFirstCoClass()
    Dim vcCM As VCCodeModel
    Dim vcIDLCoClass As VCCodeIDLCoClass
    vcCM = DTE.Solution.Item(1).CodeModel
    vcIDLCoClass = vcCM.IDLLibraries.Item(1).IDLCoClasses.Item(1)
    MsgBox(vcIDLCoClass.DisplayName)
End Sub
