Hi, I'm developing a custom DebugEngine for Visual Studio, which also includes a custom DebugPortSupplier/DebugPort implementation (src).
In Visual Studio 2022 the "Attach to Process" window got some new cool features:
- Displaying the full command line of the process
- Showing the processe tree
- Automatic refresh of the process list
How do I implement these features for my custom port? Right now the checkboxes are greyed out with messages like "the port doesn't support this" (and the commandline field in the table is empty). I've studied the debugger API reference documentation (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/extensibility/debugger/reference/idebugport2?view=vs-2022), but I don't see anything related to these new features. Please, help!

Show process treeoption to check? Besides, does theAutomatic refreshoption also get greyed out? -

Show process treecheckbox checked.
For my implementation of the DebugPort both
Show process treeandAutomatic refreshare greyed out. I suspect there should be some new interface I need to implement to provide the information about the parent/child links and real-time refresh. -

2022-06-13T13:23:37.17+00:00 Hi @Andy Hippo , thanks for sharing the screenshot, I checked the APIs, also didn’t find the related interface. I will help to involve someone who is more experienced in this topic to research this issue. It may take some time, please be patient, any update I will share here. BTW, if you can share a simple sample then it will be helpful for testing :)
Regards,
Tianyu
