Examples

This example makes a text file the active window. It then uses it to iterate through the windows collection and to display the name of the project that contains the window.

Before running this example, open a project in Visual Studio and add a text file named "TextFile1.txt" to it.

Imports EnvDTE  
Imports EnvDTE80  
Sub ProjectExample(ByVal dte As DTE2)  
    Try  
        'Before running, create a text file named   
        ' "TextFile1.txt", include it in your solution,  
        ' and make it the active window.  
        Dim win As Window2  
        Dim doc As Document  
        If _applicationObject.Documents.Count > 0 Then  
            doc = _applicationObject.Documents.Item("TextFile1.txt")  
            win = CType(doc.ActiveWindow, Window2)  
            ' Show the name of the project that contains this  
            ' window and document.  
            MsgBox("The name of the project containing the window: "  _  
            & win.Project.Name)  
            ' Acticate the winodw.  
            win.Activate()  
            ' Show the name of the current ProjectITem.  
            MsgBox("The name of the current project item is: "  _  
            & win.ProjectItem.Name)  
            ' How many other windows are available?

            ' document property is the same as the document
