CodeElement.IsCodeType Property

Indicates whether or not a CodeType object can be obtained from the CodeElement object.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
ReadOnly Property IsCodeType As Boolean

'Usage
Dim instance As CodeElement 
Dim value As Boolean 

value = instance.IsCodeType

bool IsCodeType { get; }

property bool IsCodeType {
    bool get ();
}

function get IsCodeType () : boolean

Property Value

Type: System.Boolean
A Boolean value indicating whether or not a CodeType object can be obtained from the CodeElement object.

Remarks

True if a CodeType object can be obtained, otherwise returns False. If it is True, then you can query interface or cast it to a CodeType object. This is true when Kind is vsCMElementClass, vsCMElementInterface, vsCMElementDelegate, vsCMElementStruct, or vsCMElementEnum.

Examples

Sub IsCodeTypeExample(ByVal dte As DTE2)

    ' NOTE: This example requires a reference to the System.Text 
    '       namespace.

    ' Before running this example, open a code document from a project.
    Dim item As ProjectItem = dte.ActiveDocument.ProjectItem
    Dim sb As New StringBuilder

    RecurseElements(item.FileCodeModel.CodeElements, 0, sb)

    MsgBox(item.Name & " contains the following elements:" & vbCrLf & _
        vbCrLf & sb.ToString())

End Sub

Sub RecurseElements(ByVal elems As CodeElements, _
    ByVal level As Integer, ByVal sb As StringBuilder)

    Dim elem As CodeElement
    For Each elem In elems
        ' Add element to the list of names.
        sb.Append(" "c, level * 8)
        sb.Append(elem.Name & " [" & elem.Kind.ToString() & "]" & _
            vbCrLf)
