Examples

Loops through each project in your solution and lists the GUID of each ActiveX (COM) control.

' Add a reference to Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine and have a   
' Visual C++ project loaded before running this example. Also, you   
' should have at least one ActiveX (COM) reference in a project.  
Imports EnvDTE  
Imports Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine  

Public Module Module1  
    Sub Test()  
        Dim proj As Project  
        Dim vcproj As VCProject  
        Dim ref As VCReference  
        Dim axref As VCActiveXReference  

        On Error Resume Next  

        ' Loop each project in the solution.  
        For Each proj In DTE.Solution.Projects  
            vcproj = Nothing  
            vcproj = CType(proj.Object, VCProject)  
            ' If this project is a Visual C++ project  
            If Not vcproj Is Nothing Then  
                ' Loop the references for this Visual C++ project  
                For Each ref In vcproj.VCReferences  
                    axref = Nothing  
                    axref = CType(ref, VCActiveXReference)  
                    ' If this reference is an ActiveX reference  
                    If Not axref Is Nothing Then  
                        MsgBox("Control GUID: " & axref.ControlGUID)
