function AddEvent(
    Name : String, 
    FullDelegateName : String, 
    CreatePropertyStyleEvent : boolean, 
    Location : Object, 
    Access : vsCMAccess
) : CodeEvent

Parameters

• Name
  Type: String

  Required. Name of the class event to add.

• FullDelegateName
  Type: String

  Required. Name of the delegate to base the event on. This acts as a template for the new event handler.

• CreatePropertyStyleEvent
  Type: Boolean

  Optional. Creates an event that has a property style accessor. True indicates that the event should have an accessor, false indicates that it should not.

• Location
  Type: Object

• Access
  Type: EnvDTE.vsCMAccess

  Optional. A vsCMAccess constant.

Return Value

Type: EnvDTE80.CodeEvent
Returns the class event handler that was created.

Note

The values of code model elements such as classes, structs, functions, attributes, delegates, and so forth can be non-deterministic after making certain kinds of edits, meaning that their values cannot be relied upon to always remain the same.

Examples

[Visual Basic]

Sub AddEventExample(ByVal dte As DTE2)
    ' Before running this example, open a code document from a project
    ' and place the insertion point inside a class definition.
    Try
        ' Retrieve the CodeClass at the insertion point.
        Dim sel As TextSelection = _
            CType(dte.ActiveDocument.Selection, TextSelection)
        Dim cls As CodeClass = _
            CType(sel.ActivePoint.CodeElement( _
            vsCMElement.vsCMElementClass), CodeClass)

        ' Create a new event handler.
        cls.AddEvent("NewOnConnection", "OnConnection", True, -1, 
          vsCMAccess.vsCMAccessPublic)
    Catch ex As Exception
        MsgBox(ex.Message)
    End Try
End Sub

[C#]

public void AddEventExample(DTE2 dte)
{
    // Before running this example, open a code document from a project
    // and place the insertion point inside a class definition.
    try
    {
        // Retrieve the CodeClass at the insertion point.
        TextSelection sel = 
            (TextSelection)dte.ActiveDocument.Selection;
        CodeClass cls = 
            (CodeClass)sel.ActivePoint.get_CodeElement(
            vsCMElement.vsCMElementClass);
        // Creates a new event handler.
        cls.AddEvent("NewOnConnection", "OnConnection", true, -1, 
          vsCMAccess.vsCMAccessPublic);
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
    }
}
