WindowConfiguration Interface

Visual Studio 2005

The WindowConfiguration object represents the layout and configuration of all windows in the Visual Studio environment.

Namespace: EnvDTE
Assembly: EnvDTE (in envdte.dll)

Syntax

C++

Copy

[GuidAttribute("41D02413-8A67-4C28-A980-AD7539ED415D")] 
public interface WindowConfiguration

Copy

/** @attribute GuidAttribute("41D02413-8A67-4C28-A980-AD7539ED415D") */ 
public interface WindowConfiguration

JScript

Copy

GuidAttribute("41D02413-8A67-4C28-A980-AD7539ED415D") 
public interface WindowConfiguration

Remarks

You can save your current window layout in the Visual Studio environment as a named window configuration. The WindowConfiguration object represents this configuration, which you can later recall by using the Apply method.

Example

Copy

void WinConfigExample1(_DTE dte)
{
// Set references to all necessary objects.
    WindowConfigurations colWinConfig; 
    WindowConfiguration objWinConfig;

    colWinConfig = dte.WindowConfigurations;

    MessageBox.Show("Number of configurations: " + 
        colWinConfig.Count);

    // List all saved named window configurations.
    FillMsg(colWinConfig);
    //Create a new window configuration.
    objWinConfig = colWinConfig.Add("NewLayout");
    FillMsg(colWinConfig);
    // Get rid of the new window configuration.
    objWinConfig.Delete();
    MessageBox.Show("Number of configurations: " + colWinConfig.Count);
    FillMsg(colWinConfig);
}

void FillMsg(WindowConfigurations colWinConfig )
{
      // Lists all currently available named window configurations.
    int lCtr;
    string strMsg = null;

    for (lCtr = 1; lCtr < colWinConfig.Count + 1; lCtr ++)
    {
        strMsg = strMsg + "Configuration name " + lCtr + ": " + 
            colWinConfig.Item(lCtr).Name + "\n"; 
    }
    strMsg = "Current Configurations: \n" + strMsg;
    MessageBox.Show(strMsg);
}
