CodeClass2.AddEnum Method

  • Article

Creates a new enumeration in the class.

Namespace:  EnvDTE80
Assembly:  EnvDTE80 (in EnvDTE80.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Function AddEnum ( _
    Name As String, _
    Position As Object, _
    Bases As Object, _
    Access As vsCMAccess _
) As CodeEnum

CodeEnum AddEnum(
    string Name,
    Object Position,
    Object Bases,
    vsCMAccess Access
)

CodeEnum^ AddEnum(
    String^ Name, 
    Object^ Position, 
    Object^ Bases, 
    vsCMAccess Access
)

abstract AddEnum : 
        Name:string * 
        Position:Object * 
        Bases:Object * 
        Access:vsCMAccess -> CodeEnum

function AddEnum(
    Name : String, 
    Position : Object, 
    Bases : Object, 
    Access : vsCMAccess
) : CodeEnum

Parameters

  • Name
    Type: String

    Required. The name of the enumeration to add.

  • Position
    Type: Object

    Optional. Default = 0. The code element after which to add the new element. If the value is a CodeElement, then the new element is added immediately after it.

    If the value is a Long, then Position indicates the element after which to add the new element.

    Because collections begin their count at 1, passing 0 indicates that the new element should be placed at the beginning of the collection. A value of -1 means the element should be placed at the end.

  • Bases
    Type: Object

    Optional. Default = Nothing. A variant that holds a SafeArray of fully qualified type names or CodeType objects that specify the underlying type of the new enum.

Return Value

Type: EnvDTE.CodeEnum
A CodeEnum object.

Remarks

The correctness of the arguments is determined by the language behind the code model.

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. For more information, see the section Code Model Element Values Can Change in Discovering Code by Using the Code Model (Visual Basic).

Examples

[C#]

public void CodeClass2AddEnumExample(DTE2 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.
        TextSelection sel =
            (TextSelection)dte2.ActiveDocument.Selection;
        CodeClass cls =
            (CodeClass)sel.ActivePoint.get_CodeElement(
            vsCMElement.vsCMElementClass);

        object pos = -1; // Place enum at end of members collection
        // Add enum.
        CodeEnum cenum = cls.AddEnum("TestEnum", pos, null, 
            vsCMAccess.vsCMAccessPublic);
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
    }
}
