Parameters

  • Name
    Type: String

    Required. Specifies the name (in quotes) of the header, IDL, or ODL file to be imported.

  • Location
    Type: 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 AddIDLImport fails.

  • Position
    Type: 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.VCCodeIDLImport
A VCCodeIDLImport object.

Remarks

Call this function to insert an import statement into the specified .idl file of the VCCodeModel object.
