VCCodeModel::AddIDLLibrary Method (String^, Object^, Object^)

Visual Studio 2015

Namespace: Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCCodeModel
Assembly: Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCCodeModel (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCCodeModel.dll)

Syntax

C++

VCCodeIDLLibrary^ AddIDLLibrary(
	String^ Name,
	Object^ Location,
	Object^ Position
)

Parameters

Name: Type: System::String^
Required. Specifies the name of the new library.

Location: Type: System::Object^
Required. The path or file name of the .idl file to be modified. If the file does not exist, it is created automatically. The file is added to the project if it is not already a project item. If the file cannot be created and added to the project, then AddIDLLibrary fails.

Position

Type: System::Object^

Optional. Default = 0. The code element after which to add the new element. If the value is a CodeElement, then the new element is added immediately after it.

Since collections begin their count at one, passing 0 indicates that the new element should be placed at the beginning of the collection. A value of -1 means the element should be placed at the end.

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCCodeModel::VCCodeIDLLibrary^

A VCCodeIDLLibrary object.

Remarks

Call this function to insert a library statement into the specified .idl file of the VCCodeModel object.
