Re: How do you gain access to a specific instance of Visual Studio via EnvDTE in C++ without .NET

This seems to work !

bool CVc8ExternalDebugger::Attach(LPCTSTR lpszSolution)
{
ULONG nEaten;
HRESULT hResult;
CComPtr<IMoniker> spIMoniker;
CComPtr<IBindCtx> spIBindCtx;
CComPtr<EnvDTE::_Solution> spISolution;
CComPtr<EnvDTE::_DTE> spIDTE;
return SUCCEEDED(hResult = ::CreateBindCtx(NULL,&spIBindCtx)) &&
SUCCEEDED(hResult =
::MkParseDisplayName(spIBindCtx,CComBSTR(lpszSolution),&nEaten,&spIMoniker))
&&
SUCCEEDED(hResult =
spIMoniker->BindToObject(spIBindCtx,NULL,__uuidof(EnvDTE::_Solution),(void**)
&spISolution)) &&
SUCCEEDED(hResult = spISolution->get_DTE(&spIDTE)) &&
SUCCEEDED(hResult =
spIDTE->QueryInterface(__uuidof(EnvDTE80::DTE2),(void**)
&m_spIDevStudioApp));
}

VB's GetObject maps to CoGetObject or GetActiveObject
depending on its parameters. However, I'm not sure which
takes precedence when both arguments are supplied...

The documentation gives this example for VB:

GetObject(L"C:\\Projects\\Project1\\Project1.sln",L"VisualStudio.Solution.8.0")

But I can't find a C++ example.

Without knowing much about monikers I have tried below without success:

HRESULT hResult;
CLSID clsid;
CComPtr<IUnknown> spIUnknown;
CComPtr<IMoniker> spIMoniker;
CComPtr<IBindCtx> spIBindCtx;

CLSIDFromProgID(L"VisualStudio.DTE.8.0",&clsid);
if(SUCCEEDED(hResult =
::CreateFileMoniker(L"C:\\Projects\\Project1\\Project1.sln",&spIMoniker)))
if(SUCCEEDED(hResult = ::CreateBindCtx(NULL,&spIBindCtx)))
if(SUCCEEDED(hResult =
spIMoniker->BindToObject(spIBindCtx,NULL,clsid,(void**) &spIUnknown)))
m_spIDevStudioApp = spIUnknown;

Thanks in advance

Steve
