DTE DTE { get; }
property DTE^ DTE {
DTE^ get ();
}
abstract DTE : DTE with get

Property Value
Type: EnvDTE.DTE
Returns a DTE object.

Examples
Sub DTEExample(ByVal dte As DTE2)

Else

End If

If IsMacrosIDE(output.DTE) Then
MsgBox(msg & "macros IDE.")
Else
MsgBox(msg & "main IDE.")
End If
End Sub
