Syntax

'Declaration
Function AddEnum ( _
    Name As String, _
    Position As Object, _
    Bases As Object, _
    Access As vsCMAccess _
) As CodeEnum

CodeEnum AddEnum(
    string Name,
    Object Position,
    Object Bases,
    vsCMAccess Access
)

CodeEnum^ AddEnum(
    String^ Name, 
    Object^ Position, 
    Object^ Bases,

)

abstract AddEnum : 
        Name:string * 
        Position:Object * 
        Bases:Object * 
        Access:vsCMAccess -> CodeEnum

function AddEnum(
    Name : String, 
    Position : Object, 
    Bases : Object, 
    Access : vsCMAccess
) : CodeEnum

Parameters

• Name
  Type: String

  Required. The name of the enum to add.

• 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.

  If the value is a Long data type, then AddEnum indicates the element after which to add the new element.

  Because collections begin their count at 1, 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.

• Bases
  Type: Object

  Optional. Default = Nothing. A variant that holds a SafeArray of fully qualified type names or CodeType objects that specify the underlying type of the new enumeration.

• Access
  Type: EnvDTE.vsCMAccess

  Optional. A vsCMAccess constant.

Return Value

Type: EnvDTE.CodeEnum
A CodeEnum object.

Remarks

The correctness of the arguments is determined by the language behind the code model. All languages ignore the Bases parameter.

Examples

Sub AddEnumExample(ByVal dte As DTE2)

    ' Before running this example, open a code document from a project.
    Try
        Dim projItem As ProjectItem = dte.ActiveDocument.ProjectItem

        ' Create a new enum.
        projItem.FileCodeModel.AddEnum("TestEnum")
    Catch ex As Exception
        MsgBox(ex.Message)
    End Try

End Sub

public void AddEnumExample(DTE2 dte)
{
    // Before running this example, open a code document from 
    // a project.
    try
    {
        ProjectItem projItem = dte.ActiveDocument.ProjectItem;

        // Create a new enum.
        projItem.FileCodeModel.AddEnum("TestEnum", -1, null, 
            vsCMAccess.vsCMAccessPublic);
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
    }
}
