IVsTaskList2::SetActiveProvider Method (Guid)

 

Selects the provider currently displayed in the tasklist.

Namespace:   Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop
Assembly:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.8.0 (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.8.0.dll)

int SetActiveProvider(
	[InAttribute] Guid% rguidProvider
)

Parameters

rguidProvider
Type: System::Guid

[in] A Provider Identifier; an object of type REFGUID.

Return Value

Type: System::Int32

If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an error code.

Selecting the provider currently displayed in the tasklist should not be done automatically (e.g. in response to a build or run action), but only when explicitly requested by the user. Users get annoyed when we switch things like this automatically.

From vsshell80.idl:

HRESULT SetActiveProvider(
   [in] REFGUID rguidProvider
);
