WindowConfiguration Interface
Visual Studio 2015
The WindowConfiguration object represents the layout and configuration of all windows in the Visual Studio environment.
Assembly: EnvDTE (in EnvDTE.dll)
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Collection | Gets the collection containing the object supporting this property or contained within this code construct. |
![]() | DTE | Gets the top-level extensibility object. |
![]() | Name | Sets or gets the name of the object. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Apply(Boolean) | Invokes a previously saved named window configuration. |
![]() | Delete() | Removes the window configuration from the collection. |
![]() | Update() | Updates the collection of windows or sets the object's window layout to the current window layout. |
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.
