   ' Reference the UIHierarchy, UIHierarchyItem, and OutputWindow objects.  
   Dim UIH As UIHierarchy = _  
     DTE.Windows.Item(Constants.vsWindowKindMacroExplorer).Object  
   Dim samples As UIHierarchyItem = UIH.GetItem("Macros\Samples")  
   Dim OWPane As OutputWindowPane = GetOutputWindowPane("List Macros")  
   Dim file As UIHierarchyItem
