Applying Methods to Developer Studio Objects

Home Page (Objects)OverviewFAQReference

Most Developer Studio objects have methods. These represent actions you can take against the objects.

For example, the Open method of the Documents object allows you to open a document. Suppose you create a macro and then save it as MyFile.dsm in your local directory. To open this file, you can use the following code:

Documents.Open ("c:\program files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\MSDEV98\Macros\MyFile.dsm")

Similarly, to close this file you can use the Close method of the TextDocument object:

ActiveDocument.Close

For more information about methods, see the method descriptions, and for more examples see Using the Sample Macros provided with Developer Studio.
