Remarks

The VCCodeIDLImportLib object represents an importlib code element from the .idl file of the parent solution. Primarily, the object is used to access the elements of an existing importlib 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 importlib code statement and displays it in a message box.

Sub GetFirstIDLImportLib()
    Dim vcCM As VCCodeModel
    Dim vcIDLImportLib As VCCodeIDLImportLib
    vcCM = DTE.Solution.Item(1).CodeModel
    vcIDLImportLib = vcCM.IDLLibraries.Item(1).IDLImportLibs.Item(1)
    MsgBox(vcIDLImportLib.DisplayName)
End Sub
