CodeClass2.AddImplementedInterface(Object, Object) Method

Definition

Namespace:

EnvDTE80

Assembly:

Microsoft.VisualStudio.Interop.dll

Package:

Microsoft.VisualStudio.Interop v17.11.40262

Adds an interface to the list of inherited objects.

EnvDTE::CodeInterface AddImplementedInterface(winrt::Windows::Foundation::IInspectable const & Base, winrt::Windows::Foundation::IInspectable const & Position);

[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DispId(63)]
public EnvDTE.CodeInterface AddImplementedInterface (object Base, object Position);

[<System.Runtime.InteropServices.DispId(63)>]
abstract member AddImplementedInterface : obj * obj -> EnvDTE.CodeInterface

Public Function AddImplementedInterface (Base As Object, Optional Position As Object) As CodeInterface

Parameters

Base

Object

Required. The interface that the class will implement. This is either a CodeInterface object or a fully-qualified type name.

Position

Object

Optional. Default = 0. The code element after which to add the new interface.

If the value is a Long data type, then Position indicates the element after which to add the new element.

Because collections begin their count at 1, 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

CodeInterface

A CodeInterface object.

Implements

AddImplementedInterface(Object, Object)

Attributes

DispIdAttribute

Examples

[Visual Basic]

    ' Before running this example, open a code document from a project  
    ' and place the insertion point inside a class definition.

Remarks

AddImplementedInterface adds a reference to an interface that the CodeClass2 object implements. AddImplementedInterface does not insert method stubs for the interface members.

Native Visual C++ requires the colon-separated (::) format for its fully qualified type names. All other languages support the period-separated format.

The correctness of the arguments is determined by the language behind the code model.

Note

The values of code model elements such as classes, structs, functions, attributes, delegates, and so forth can be non-deterministic after making certain kinds of edits, meaning that their values cannot be relied upon to always remain the same. For more information, see the section Code Model Element Values Can Change in Discovering Code by Using the Code Model (Visual Basic).
