Remarks
The DTE object is provided to you by the OnConnection method that you implement when you create an Add-in. The DTE object is the Application object in Visual Basic.
To access project-specific properties such as VBProjects or CSharpProjects, use the syntax DTE.GetObject("VBProjects").
For details about referencing the EnvDTE namespace and the DTE object, see Referencing Automation Assemblies and the DTE2 Object.

'Get a handle to the new document.
Set objTextDoc = DTE2.ActiveDocument.Object("TextDocument")
Set objEP = objTextDoc.StartPoint.CreateEditPoint
