Debugger3.CurrentProcess Property

Gets or sets the active process.

Namespace:  EnvDTE90
Assembly:  EnvDTE90 (in EnvDTE90.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Property CurrentProcess As Process
Process CurrentProcess { get; set; }
property Process^ CurrentProcess {
    Process^ get ();
    void set (Process^ value);
}
abstract CurrentProcess : Process with get, set
function get CurrentProcess () : Process 
function set CurrentProcess (value : Process)

Property Value

Type: EnvDTE.Process
A Process object.

Remarks

The active process is the process that defines the data displayed by the debugger. Although the debugger supports debugging more than one process at a time, only one process can be active at any given time. For more information, see <PAVE OVER> 12/13 Debugging Multiple Processes.

Examples

The following example shows how to use the CurrentProcess property.

To test this property:

  1. Open the target application. Run the add-in.

    No process is being debugged.

  2. Set a breakpoint in the target application. Run the application in the debug mode.

  3. When the program stops at the breakpoint, run the add-in.

    The process is being debugged.

public static void CurrentProcess(EnvDTE80.DTE2 dte)
{
    // Setup debug Output window.
    Window w =  
   (Window)dte.Windows.Item(EnvDTE.Constants.vsWindowKindOutput);
    w.Visible = true;
    OutputWindow ow = (OutputWindow)w.Object;
    OutputWindowPane owp = ow.OutputWindowPanes.Add("Current Process 
    Test");
    owp.Activate();

    owp.OutputString("Current Process Info: ");
    EnvDTE90.Debugger3 debugger = (EnvDTE90.Debugger3)dte.Debugger;
    EnvDTE90.Process2 process = (EnvDTE90.Process2)debugger.CurrentProcess;

    if (process == null)
        owp.OutputString("No process is being debugged");
    else
        owp.OutputString("Process ID = " + process.ProcessID +
                         "  Process Name = " + process.Name);
}
Sub ShowCurrentProcess()
    ' This function displays the current debugger
    ' mode in the output window.
    Dim ow As OutputWindow
    ow = dte.Windows.Item(Constants.vsWindowKindOutput).Object

    Dim proc As EnvDTE90.Process3
    proc = dte.Debugger.CurrentProcess

    If (proc Is Nothing) Then
        ow.ActivePane.OutputString("No process is being debugged")
    Else
        ow.ActivePane.OutputString("" + Str(proc.ProcessID) + ": " + _
        poc.Name + vbCrLf)
    End If
End Sub
