IDTExtensibility2.OnStartupComplete Method

Visual Studio 2005

Occurs whenever an add-in, which is set to load when Visual Studio starts, loads.

Namespace: Extensibility
Assembly: Extensibility (in extensibility.dll)

C#
C++
VB
Copy 
void OnStartupComplete (
	[InAttribute] ref Array custom
)
J#
Copy 
void OnStartupComplete (
	/** @attribute InAttribute() */ /** @ref */ Array custom
)
JScript
Copy 
JScript does not support passing value-type arguments by reference.

Parameters

custom

An empty array that you can use to pass host-specific data for use when the add-in loads.

On occasion, OnConnection does not occur correctly, such as when an add-in is loaded, but a component required by an add-in has not yet loaded. This is unusually due to the fact that Visual Studio has not yet started completely. Using OnStartupComplete guarantees that the Visual Studio integrated development environment (IDE) has completed the startup process.

C#
VB
Copy 
public void OnStartupComplete(ref Array custom)
{
    // Notifies you when an add-in that is set to start when
    // Visual Studio starts has completed loading.
    System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Add-in has loaded and is 
    ready.");
}

custom parameter values
Visual Studio does not use the custom parameter to pass values to an Add-in. Some Microsoft Office applications, which also use IDTExtensibility2 for implementing Add-ins, do pass values through this parameter for use by the Add-in, but Visual Studio does not.
