abstract member AddMacro : string * obj * string * obj -> Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCCodeModel.VCCodeMacro

Public Function AddMacro (Name As String, Location As Object, Optional Value As String = "", Optional Position As Object) As VCCodeMacro

Parameters

Name

String

Required. Specifies the name of the macro.

Location

Object

Required. The path or file name of the file to be modified. If the file does not exist, it is created automatically. The file is added to the project if it is not already a project item. If the file cannot be created and added to the project, then AddMacro(String, Object, String, Object) fails.

Value

String

Optional. The text of the macro's definition.

Position

Object

Optional. Default = 0. The code element after which to add the new element. If the value is a CodeElement, then the new element is added immediately after it.Since collections begin their count at one, passing 0 indicates that the new element should be placed at the beginning of the collection. A value of -1 means the element should be placed at the end.

Returns

VCCodeMacro

A VCCodeMacro object.

Attributes

DispIdAttribute

    codeModel = DTE.Solution.Item(1).CodeModel  
    Dim macro As VCCodeMacro  
    macro = codeModel.AddMacro("LAST_CHAR", "File.h", "'Z'")  
End Sub
