Find.FilesOfType Property
Gets or sets the file extension for the files to be searched.
Namespace: EnvDTE
Assembly: EnvDTE (in EnvDTE.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Property FilesOfType As String
string FilesOfType { get; set; }
property String^ FilesOfType {
String^ get ();
void set (String^ value);
}
abstract FilesOfType : string with get, set
function get FilesOfType () : String
function set FilesOfType (value : String)
Property Value
Type: System.String
The file extension for the files to be searched.
Remarks
The FilesOfType argument can be any three-character file extension, such as .bas, .cpp, .txt, and so forth. Also, FilesOfType corresponds to the File types box. It is a semi-colon delimited list of wildcard patterns to search. It works similarly to the MS-DOS dir command. You can, for example, set FilesOfType to MyProg*.cpp. You can only use the wildcard characters on files, however, not directories. So, for example, you could not use Sample*\abc*.cpp.
Examples
Sub FilesOfTypeExample()
Dim objTextDoc As TextDocument
Dim objEditPt As EditPoint
Dim iCtr As Integer
Dim objFind As Find
' Create a new text file.
DTE.ItemOperations.NewFile("General\Text File")
' Get a handle to the new document and create an EditPoint.
objTextDoc = DTE.ActiveDocument.Object("TextDocument")
objEditPt = objTextDoc.StartPoint.CreateEditPoint
objFind = objTextDoc.DTE.Find
' Insert ten lines of text.
For iCtr = 1 To 10
objEditPt.Insert("This is a test." & Chr(13))
Next iCtr
' Set the find options.
