Thread2.DTE Property

Gets the top-level extensibility object.

Namespace:  EnvDTE90
Assembly:  EnvDTE90 (in EnvDTE90.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
ReadOnly Property DTE As DTE
DTE DTE { get; }
property DTE^ DTE {
    DTE^ get ();
}
abstract DTE : DTE with get
function get DTE () : DTE

Property Value

Type: EnvDTE.DTE
A DTE object.

Remarks

In Visual Studio, the DTE object is the root of the automation model, which other object models often call "Application."

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the Collection property.

To test this property:

  1. Set the breakpoint inside the worker thread callback method.

  2. Run the target application in the debug mode.

  3. When the application stops on the breakpoint, run the add-in.

public static void TestThreadProperties(DTE2 dte)
{
    // Setup debug Output window.
    Window w = 
      (Window)dte.Windows.Item(EnvDTE.Constants.vsWindowKindOutput);
    w.Visible = true;
    OutputWindow ow = (OutputWindow)w.Object;
    OutputWindowPane owp = ow.OutputWindowPanes.Add("Thread Test");
    owp.Activate();

    EnvDTE.Threads threads = dte.Debugger.CurrentProgram.Threads;
    owp.OutputString("\nNumber of items in the Thread collection: " + 
      threads.Item(1).Collection.Count + "\n");
    foreach(EnvDTE90.Thread2 thread in threads)
    {
        owp.OutputString("\nThread: " + thread.ID + "  Name: " + 
          thread.Name);
        owp.OutputString("\n  Edition of the environment : " + 
          thread.DTE.Edition);
        owp.OutputString("\n  Is alive                   : " + 
          thread.IsAlive);
        owp.OutputString("\n  Is frozen                  : " + 
          thread.IsFrozen);
        owp.OutputString("\n  Location                   : " + 
          thread.Location);
        owp.OutputString("\n  Parent's current mode      : " + 
          thread.Parent.CurrentMode);
        owp.OutputString("\n  Priority                   : " + 
          thread.Priority);
        owp.OutputString("\n  Program name               : " + 
          thread.Program.Name);
        owp.OutputString("\n  Number of stack frames     : " + 
          thread.StackFrames.Count);
        owp.OutputString("\n  Suspended number of times  : " + 
          thread.SuspendCount);
        owp.OutputString("\n  Flag on the thread  : " + thread.Flag);
    }
