CodeFunction.FunctionKind Property

  • Article

Gets an enumeration describing how a function is used.

Namespace:  EnvDTE
Assembly:  EnvDTE (in EnvDTE.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
ReadOnly Property FunctionKind As vsCMFunction

vsCMFunction FunctionKind { get; }

property vsCMFunction FunctionKind {
    vsCMFunction get ();
}

abstract FunctionKind : vsCMFunction with get

function get FunctionKind () : vsCMFunction

Property Value

Type: EnvDTE.vsCMFunction
A vsCMFunction value.

Remarks

FunctionKind returns the type of the function, such as a Property Get, a Property Let, a Sub, or a Function.

The vsCMFunction values are meant to be bitwise OR'd together. Visual C++ combines several of these values to accurately describe a function. For example: virtual int MyProc() const = 0;.

MyProc results in a value of (vsCMFunctionFunction | vsCMFunctionVirtual | vsCMFunctionConstant | vsCMFunctionPure | vsCMFunctionTopLevel).

Another example is : inline void AnotherOne().

This results in a value of (vsCMFunctionSub | vsCMFunctionInline, vsCMFunctionTopLevel).

Note

The values of code model elements such as classes, structs, functions, attributes, delegates, and so forth can be non-deterministic after making certain kinds of edits, meaning that their values cannot be relied upon to always remain the same. For more information, see the section Code Model Element Values Can Change in Discovering Code by Using the Code Model (Visual Basic).

Examples

 Sub FunctionKindExample(ByVal dte As DTE2)

    ' Before running this example, open a code document from a project
    ' and place the insertion point inside a function.
    Try
        ' Retrieve the CodeFunction at the insertion point.
        Dim sel As TextSelection = _
            CType(dte.ActiveDocument.Selection, TextSelection)
        Dim fun As CodeFunction = _
            CType(sel.ActivePoint.CodeElement( _
            vsCMElement.vsCMElementFunction), CodeFunction)

        MsgBox(fun.Name & "'s kind is " & fun.FunctionKind.ToString())
    Catch ex As Exception
        MsgBox(ex.Message)
    End Try

End Sub

 public void FunctionKindExample(DTE2 dte)
{
    // Before running this example, open a code document from a project
    // and place the insertion point inside a function.
    try
    {
        // Retrieve the CodeFunction at the insertion point.
        TextSelection sel = 
            (TextSelection)dte.ActiveDocument.Selection;
        CodeFunction fun = 
            (CodeFunction)sel.ActivePoint.get_CodeElement(
            vsCMElement.vsCMElementFunction);

        MessageBox.Show(fun.Name + "'s kind is " + 
            fun.FunctionKind.ToString());
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
    }
}
