Context Parameters

In the Visual Studio integrated development environment (IDE), you can add wizards to the New ProjectAdd New Item, or Add Sub Project dialog boxes. The added wizards are available on the File menu or by right-clicking a project in Solution Explorer. The IDE passes context parameters to the implementation of the wizard. The context parameters define the state of the project when the IDE calls the wizard.

The IDE starts wizards by setting the VSADDITEMOP_RUNWIZARD flag in the IDE's call to the AddItem method for the project. When set, the project must cause the IVsExtensibility::RunWizardFile method to be executed by using the registered wizard name or GUID and other context parameters that the IDE passes to it.
