Examples

Sub SelectionContainerExample()  
   Dim SelContain As SelectionContainer  
   Dim ContainerItem As SelectedItem  

   ' Set references to the selection container and its selected item.  
   SelContain = DTE.SelectedItems.SelectionContainer  
   ContainerItem = DTE.SelectedItems.Item(1)  

   ' Print the name of the container of the selected item.  
   MsgBox(ContainerItem.Name)  
End Sub  

Remarks

The SelectionContainer object is a generic selection-tracking object. There is one global selection object for the environment: DTE.SelectedItems.SelectionContainer.

SelectedItems is a collection that represents individual ProjectItem objects, from which you can get the Project object. Because an item can offer a selection of an arbitrary object within its context, however, the SelectionContainer can represent any type of selected object.

Properties

Count	Gets a value indicating the number of objects in the collection.
DTE	Gets the top-level extensibility object.
Parent	Gets the immediate parent object of a SelectionContainer object.

Methods

GetEnumerator()	Gets an enumeration for items in a collection.
Item(Object)	Returns an object in the SelectionContainer collection.
