add-ins in c++ using the DTE-object
-
hy, i have read a lot about this topic, but didnt found good answers. can anybody explain, how i can code the following VB-code in VC++ ? Sub DocumentsExample() MsgBox(DTE.Documents.Count) End Sub How can i get this DTE object? the compiler doesent recognises it. I would like to make an addin for VC++.NET in which i can manipulate the code. (textmanipulations) can anybody tell me, how i can do this? i dont know how to do things which i coud do in VB with activedocument.selection , etc.. thanx for any input!!!

unfortunately, i have read all written in your link before. im now working since 2 days at this problem, and i still have no idea how to solve my problem!!!! its making me crazy! cant you give me a link to a sample add-in (in c++) of an add-in, which simply does the following thing: clicking on the add-ins button makes, that the currently selected text in VC++.NET (or in Word, id dont care, code will be probably ca. the same)changes, or lets say will be deleted. so you can select some lines of text, click the add-in and the text will be deleted. how can i do this? it cant be this difficult, i think, but i cannot find any explanation of how to code an addin in c++, and no good sample-code thanx a lot for any help!

I believe you are confusing an add-in and a macro. Why don't just record a macro, and then examine the produced VBscript code to adapt it to more general needs?

i dont confuse anything. i cant record a macro because 1. its not possible to records complicated things like those i want to do. 2. my boss told me he explicitly wants all code in c++. maby i should talk to the boss :-)

My advice then is to launch VS.NET, create a new project by choosing the project wizard called "extensibility" or something like this, then choose "shared add-in". Doing so, you've got a working skeleton created for you. And one of the methods has the IDEExtensibility2 interface we've been talking about. Using this interface, you can drill down to the current Document object, and get the selection. My suggestion is also to read this article[^] on MSDN.

have you checked out this and this?. While the first shows you how to implement IDTExtensibility2 in your addin, the next allows simple text addition to visualstudio via DTE.
