How do I set the IVsTextView default font?

September 10, 2014, 11:33 pm

I am writing a Visual Studio 2010 extension that uses the IVsTextView to edit acustom content type. I'm using MEF extensions (I wish to avoid writing an implementation for ILanguageService).

I defined 3 classifiers and appropriate ClassificationFormatDefintions, which provide the color and font for the tags.

However, the text also contains 'unclassified' content. I was not able to change its color nor its font.

  • I tried changing the 'Plain Text' item in the "Text Editor" category, but it did not have any effect.
  • I tried applying properties on the IEditorFormatMap interface, but the properties I tried did not have an effect. I'm not even sure they were correct properties.

I also thought about (though did not try) adding an 'unclassified' classifier and provide the appropriate tagger info for it. But this seems like the wrong way to do it.

So, how do I set the font for the unclassified content?

Alternatively, how do I relate the IVsTextView to the items in "Text Editor" font and colors category?

Get all preprocessor definitions from VCProject

I have succeeded in getting some of the VCProject options in a Visual Studio Extension that I am writing. I see that I can use VCCLCompilerTool.FullIncludePath to get the set of directories used to search for header files.

I also see VCCLCompilerTool.PreprocessorDefinitions, but this only has the preprocessor definitions defined in the project, not inherited values such as UNICODE and _UNICODE.  How would I get the full set of preprocessor definitions, including inherited values?

Project folder created after deleting with IWizard extension

September 16, 2014, 12:07 pm

Hi guys

I've got a custom VS solution template that calls a library that implements IWizard.  Within RunFinished() I've got some code that does the following:

  1. Creates a new folder called MAIN just under the new project folder root
  2. Saves everthing in the solution
  3. Closes the solution
  4. Runs a PowerShell script which moves eveyrthing to MAIN
  5. Re-opens the solution from the new MAIN folder

Through a series of MessageBox.Shows I'm able to see everything is happening as I want, but once the IWizard library is done running, something is creating another folder of the same project name at the same level as MAIN.

Here's an example:

  1. Create new project called Foo under D:\VS_Projects
  2. D:\VS_Projects now has a folder called Foo and another folder under Foo called Foo
  3. IWizard library runs and creates MAIN under D:\VS_Projects\Foo
  4. The very last line of my IWizard library does a MessageBox.Show saying "All done".  I look at the folder structure before closing the messagebox popup and it's exactly what I want - d:\vs_projects\Foo\Main\...
  5. IWizard exits and then I get a new folder created beside MAIN called Foo.  So now I have D:\VS_Projects\Foo\MAIN AND D:\VS_Projects\Foo\Foo

Any ideas where this folder is being created from and how to disable?

Tks

Exception from Visual Studio Extension Gallery Service

I'm trying to make my extension automatically update itself when new versions are pushed to the Visual Studio Gallery. There are a few guides on how one may achieve this, but they are a couple years old and may not apply.

I'm trying to query the IVsExtensionRepository as follows:

var _extensionRepository = (IVsExtensionRepository)Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Package.GetGlobalService(typeof(SVsExtensionRepository));
var query = _extensionRepository.CreateQuery<VSGalleryEntry>(false, true)
                .OrderByDescending(n => n.Ranking)
                .Skip(0)
                .Take(25) as IVsExtensionRepositoryQuery<VSGalleryEntry>;

query.ExecuteCompleted += Query_ExecuteCompleted;
query.ExecuteAsync();


At Query_ExecuteCompleted I'm receiving an exception from the server: The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request.

A stack trace is provided:

Server stack trace:

Exception rethrown at [0]: 

The service is hosted at: https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/services/dev12/extension.svc

Does anyone know how I can use this service? Either through the IVsExtensionRepository or manually?

VSPackage Deployment: Custom Installer with VS Gallery Auto Updates

September 24, 2014, 10:57 am
$

I have a VSPackage with a custom editor. I want it to show up in the solution explorer with a custom icon, which will require a custom deployment step.

Here are my deployment requirements:

  • As explained here, allow users to easily update to new versions of my extension using the Visual Studio Gallery (In VS Tools > "Extensions and Updates" > Updates).
  • As explaned here, I need to run a custom installation step to set up the custom icon in the registry (outside the VS registry hive, which means PKGDEF files can't do it).

As explained here and here, instead of using a VSIX file, I could create a custom installer that places the extension files directly in the user/machine-wide extension folder on the target machine.

Problem is I think the easy extension update process from the VS Gallery would not work. Can I get both of the requirements above? If so, how?

As a workaround, could I check if the icon is set up correctly in the package Initialize method, and if not, run some custom code to set up the registry settings?  In this case I can stick with VSIX deployment and the auto-updates work.

Alternatively, if I create a custom installer that deals with updates and copies new versions of the extension files to the extension folder, how do I register it so that VS "Extensions and Updates" checks the VS Gallery version number for updates?

Updating threads name from VS 2013 Threads window (after a breakpoint is hit?)

May 14, 2014, 12:29 am
$
0

Hi all,

as we already know, the RaiseException approach is generally used for setting the thread name inside the VS IDE Threads window.

This works fine for the case when the number of thread name changes is low.

Otherwise the time while debugging grows up to 4-5x times (in our case) due to the thread name updates.


I am not familiar with VS integration approaches for my problem. However I would happily ask here if there is an event based approach for updating the thread name inside the VS 2013 Threads window from outside my C++ application, after a debugger break-point is hit or something similar.  This would eliminate the need of setting the thread name each time in my C++ code and would be done only when the debugger break-point is hit -- and thus will not influence performance.

Basically this "plugin/addon" would have to:

- wait for a breakpoint to be hit

- iterate through all available threads in the active process

   - grab the thread name from a private member (Thread::_name)

   - update the VS IDE Threads window with the above thread name.

Any ideas if such a plugin/addon is already available? .. or how it could be created?

Kind regards,

Marius

Template: Solution Template Wizard

September 29, 2014, 10:45 am
$

Is it possible to create a custom solution template wizard? If so, how?

To provide some context, I need to customize the solution creation process by which steps such as source control branching must occur before the solution is created.  I am NOT trying to create a multi-project solution (which I know how to do). In addition to the precreation steps, I need fine control over when and where the solution (*.sln) is created on disk.

I've had partial success using a project template wizard, but I'm really fighting Visual Studio because those wizards are intended for projects and items, not solutions. I've considered creating a package which adds a custom menu to kick-off the process, but I'd rather have it be via the "New Project" dialog to retain fidelity with the standard developer experience.

The process is effectively:

  1. Collect information about the new solution such as name
  2. Select a local working directory
  3. Branch baseline for solution (by policy). The SCC information would be passed via the template wizard data.
  4. Map branch to selected local working directory
  5. Pull latest bits
  6. Run local build environment initialization (from pulled bits)
  7. Create solution under local working directory
  8. Add solution to source control
  9. Open the solution

I know how to build and execute all the steps, I just can't get it integrated into Visual Studio the way I want.  The experience should be File -> New Project -> New "My Team Solution".

Any suggestions or guidance is much appreciated.

Hi,

We're using Microsoft Team Explorer for Visual Studio 2013, update 3 has been applied

I'd like to add external commands to the tools menu; every time the external arguments are empty

Simple example is to add "open file location" command:

Command: explorer.exe
Arguments: $(ItemPath)

Every possible argument choice passes empty strings to the external command.  I could not get this to work in Team Explorer VS 2012 or Team Explorer VS 2013 Update 3.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Move Project Folder - Access Violation

Hi there,

I want to move a project that is within a solution.

So I remove that project in my package. After it was removed I save the solution file.

Then I move the folder and re-add the project.

This works in 70-80% of the times I try it. But sometimes I get a AccessViolation that I can't move the folder because it is not accessible. 

And I have absolutely no clue why this happens. Everything is saved.

Is there a way to determine how it is blocked? I've used some SysInternals tools and it says that the Visual Studio process is blocking the directory. Can I do something more? I thought saving the solution file and removing the project is all I can do.

Maybe someone can help.

Thanks,
Fabian

Access violation exiting an Isolated Shell application

My Isolated Shell app is now suddenly giving this crash on exit that I have no idea of where it comes from.

Here are the details Windows give:

  Problem Event Name:APPCRASH

  Application Name:<omitted>.exe

  Application Version:1.0.0.1

  Application Timestamp:541c3849

  Fault Module Name:msenv.dll

  Fault Module Version:12.0.30723.0

  Fault Module Timestamp:53cf6f1e

  Exception Code:c0000005

  Exception Offset:0001e974

  OS Version:6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.4

  Locale ID:1033

  Additional Information 1:0a9e

  Additional Information 2:0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789

  Additional Information 3:0a9e

  Additional Information 4:0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789

When I debug this isolated shell from VS, the same access violation occurs, and the file crtexe.c opens up. Again, not even close to any part of my code.

The only thing I did recently was installing the VS 2013 Update 3, since I had to install the Azure SDK and it forced me to update VS.

So now I am running VS 2013 Pro v12.0.30723.00 Update 3. My Isolated Shell app consists of a few VSPackages deriving from the Managed Project Framework. I am developing it for a full year now, and never had this kind of problem before.

Another, perhaps related, question is if Microsoft will ever release updates the VS 2013 Isolated Shell redistributable like its doing with VS 2013. I dont know if this can be a problem, but my appenvstub.dll is still on version 12.0.21005.1.

EDIT 1: Even creating a new Isolated Shell from scratch gives the same result. It always crash on exit. Next thing on my list is running a repair/reinstall of Visual Studio and all of its updates, which will consume at least half of my day :(

Hi there,

I want to manipulate the expand/collapse state of TreeView items in the solution explorer in my package.

I want to save the current state, do some stuff with the projects and items (for example delete and readd) and then set the previous expand/collapse state so that the states are as they were before my manipulation.

Is there an easy way to do this? I think I need another way of doing this as I did before to get project and item data.

Thx,
