'Usage
Dim instance As SelectedItems
[GuidAttribute("6CAA67CF-43AE-4184-AAAB-0200DDF6B240")]
public interface SelectedItems : IEnumerable
[GuidAttribute(L"6CAA67CF-43AE-4184-AAAB-0200DDF6B240")]
public interface class SelectedItems : IEnumerable
public interface SelectedItems extends IEnumerable
Remarks
There is always a SelectedItems collection, even when there are no project items. For example, if Solution Explorer has focus and a project node is selected, then there is one SelectedItem object. The selected item's Project property refers to the selected project, and its ProjectItem property is Null.
Examples
Sub SelectedItemsExample()
Dim SelItems As SelectedItems
Dim SelItemObj As SelectedItem
Dim SelContain As SelectionContainer
Dim SelItem As SelectedItem
Dim NameStr As String
SelItems = DTE.SelectedItems
' List the number of items selected.
If SelItems.MultiSelect = True Then
MsgBox("You have " & SelItems.Count & " items selected in Solution Explorer.")
End If
' Set a reference to the first selected item.
SelItemObj = SelItems.Item(1)
' List the names of the project or project items under the selected
' item.
For Each SelItem In SelItemObj.Collection
NameStr = NameStr & SelItem.Name
If TypeOf SelItem.Project Is Project Then
NameStr = NameStr & " Project-" & SelItem.Project.Name & vbCrLf
Else
If TypeOf SelItem.ProjectItem Is ProjectItem Then
NameStr = NameStr & SelItem.ProjectItem.FileNames(1) & vbCrLf
End If
End If
Next
MsgBox("You selected: " & NameStr)
End Sub
