ContextAttributes.Refresh Method

Refresh the contents of this attribute collection.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Sub Refresh
void Refresh()
void Refresh()
abstract Refresh : unit -> unit 
function Refresh()

Remarks

Fetching a ContextAttributes collection does not ensure that it is up to date, so you must call this method to refresh the collection. Adding and removing attributes refreshes the collection.

Examples

Sub RefreshExample()
   ' Get a reference to Solution Explorer.
   Dim SolnEx As Window = DTE.Windows.Item _
   (Constants.vsWindowKindSolutionExplorer)
   Dim CA As ContextAttribute

   ' List the current attributes associated with Solution Explorer.
   ListAttr(SolnEx, CA)

   ' Associate a new F1 keyword with Solution Explorer.
   SolnEx.ContextAttributes.Add("ANewKeyword", 900, _
   vsContextAttributeType.vsContextAttributeLookupF1)
   ListAttr(SolnEx, CA)
   SolnEx.ContextAttributes.Refresh()
   ' Delete the new F1 keyword from Solution Explorer.
   SolnEx.ContextAttributes.Item(3).Remove()
   ListAttr(SolnEx, CA)
End Sub

Sub ListAttr(ByVal SolnEx As Object, ByVal CA As ContextAttribute)
   ' Support function for CATest(). Lists the current attributes 
   ' associated with Solution Explorer.
   Dim msg As String

   MsgBox("Number of context attributes in Solution Explorer: " & _
   SolnEx.ContextAttributes.Count)
   For Each CA In SolnEx.ContextAttributes
      msg = msg & CA.Name & Chr(13)
   Next
   MsgBox(msg)
   msg = ""
End Sub
