The search placement when the frame uses a search control with shell-owned positioning in the top frame area (with values from ).

A tri-state value indicating whether a window is provisional (BOOL/EMPTY). For tool windows, this value is always VARIANT_FALSE and cannot be changed. For document windows, this value is initialized to EMPTY. After the window is created but before it is shown, this value can be set to VARIANT_TRUE to create a preview window. If this value is EMPTY when the window is shown, it will be set to VARIANT_FALSE to indicate a non-preview window.

Indicates whether a window is pinned. If , the window is pinned.

Indicates whether a window should be reopened when a solution is opened (default ).

Override the generated caption for this frame. A null value restores the default behavior.

Override the generated tooltip for this frame. A null value restores the default behavior.

A value of indicates that when the tool window is active, any toolbars that are specific to the currently active document should be hidden. The default is . This property only has an effect when the tool window also supplies a CmdUI GUID using the property. This property is used only for tool windows.

The first property ID.

Specifies the state of a hierarchy manipulation.

The calling code that manipulated the hierarchy did not specify a hierarchy manipulation state.

The hierarchy manipulation was caused by the system (not explicitly by the user).

Specifies property settings for a hierarchy.

Gets or sets the minimum design time compatible version with which this project is compatible. This property is set mostly by calls from the service during the addition of a new feature in the project that would break compatibility with a previous version of the application. This property is optional.

The provisional viewing status for the item (from the enumeration). If this property is not supported and the hierarchy implements , the provisional viewing status is determined by calling with the name returned by . This property is optional.

A list of supported output types (specified as values used by the project property). This allows a flavor to customize the contents of the output type dropdown in the property pages. This property will be checked first by the property pages, so this property effectively overrides the property used by the Visual Basic property page. This property is optional.

The target platform for a project type. Examples are "Windows", "Windows Phone", " Azure", "XBox 360", and "Portable". This property is optional.

The version of the target platform (for example "8.0"). This property is optional. However, this property is required if is provided.

The runtime the project targets, from the enumeration. This property is optional.

When set, indicates the target framework moniker to which the project system should retarget upon its first opportunity. The project is responsible for ensuring the applicability of the framework that is returned. This property is optional.

The output type for a project, from the enumeration. This property is optional.

Returns the implementation of for a project. This property is optional.

The unload status (, , and so on) from the enumeration. This is implemented only by the stub hierarchy. This property is optional.

If and the project was loaded synchronously, all its dependencies will also be loaded synchronously (the default). If and the project was loaded synchronously, those of its dependencies that support asynchronous load can be loaded asynchronously. This property is optional.

For project hierarchies, set to to indicate that the project has encountered an error. Implementations should raise property change events to all sinks whenever this value changes. This property is optional.

A localized message indicating the reason for a faulted project. This string is used in the fault resolution UI. This property is optional.

A space-delimited list of the project's capabilities. This property is optional.

Returns if the file on disk was not last written by the project and therefore the user should be prompted to reload due to an external change to the file. This property is defined for ITEMID_ROOT. It is expected that this property is only called during a FilesChanged event handler. The expected implementation is for projects to record the timestamp on the project file when the file is saved. Later when this property is requested, the project should compare the current timestamp of the file to the last recorded save timestamp. If they are not equal then return , otherwise return (that is, a reload is not required). This property is optional.

Indicates whether the project's output requires running in an app container or not. This property is optional.

Returns if an unloaded project is in provisioned state (that is, displayed with "(initializing)" caption). This is implemented only by the stub hierarchy. This property is used when a project that supports Asynchronous Solution Load is loaded in the background. While such projects are loading they are exposed in the Solution as an unloaded project stub. When the background loading project reaches the "provisioned" state, the real project has been created but has not been publicized through the solution load events. Therefore the project exposed in the solution project collection (and Solution Explorer) is still the stub hierarchy and not the real project hierarchy. Only basic hierarchy properties are available, such as the project name and icon. When the loading project reaches the provisioned state, the event is fired. This property is optional.

Indicates whether a project allows references across runtimes (for example, native to managed). The default is , so a project must have the property and set it to in order to block cross-runtime references. This property is optional.

Indicates whether the project produces an assembly (.exe or .dll) with WinMD metadata. If , it produces an assembly. This property is optional.

Indicates that IVsProject.GetMkDocument() for VSITEMID_ROOT returns the same full path to the project file as IPersistFileFormat::GetCurFile. This is useful when it is more expensive to call GetCurFile due to the need to get the format on-disk.

BOOL [optional] Indicates whether the output of the project is a package of its content (i.e. a zip file).

BSTR or VT_I4 [optional] The argument to be passed to the command to activate the project's debug page. This property is used by the command to activate the correct debug property page for the startup project.

Indicates the last .

Specifies the attributes for the physical view.

No attributes are specified for the physical view.

The physical view may open slowly. Slow in this sense means anything longer than approximately two seconds. The time to consider starts when the editor is created and ends when the UI thread is no longer blocked. If the editor takes longer than two seconds to load its file or fully render its content, but that activity takes place on a background thread and does not block the UI thread, the non-blocking activity does not need to be considered when assessing slowness.

The physical view supports being hosted in a preview tab (that is, it is a document window, not a tool window, a modal dialog, and so on).

Specifies the upgrade process of a flavored project.

No upgrade occurs because the project is already up to date.

The upgrade is not a real full upgrade but merely a repair to make the project asset compatible without the risk of issues being encountered by the previous versions of the product.

The upgrade is not a full upgrade, but also has a risk of issues being encountered by the newer or previous version of the product (for example, if a newer dependent SDK is not currently installed).

A full upgrade occurs that makes the project incompatible with the previous version of the product.

No upgrade occurs because the version of the project is incompatible.

No upgrade occurs because the version of the project is no longer supported.

Specifies the profiler launch options.

Launch the profiler but do not collect profiling information for this target.

Specifies the set of output types that a project system can return when the hierarchy property is queried on its .

Identifies property settings for a solution.

The solution file extension (default - ".sln").

The solution options file extension (default - ".suo").

The number of faulted projects in the solution.

The of that represents the current project fault resolution context. This property is read only (but the returned property bag is mutable). This property is only non-null if the user has just performed a gesture that requires a batch of faulted projects to be resolved. In this case, before invoking for the first time, a new empty property bag is created and assigned to this property, and the property remains that way for all calls to that logically belong to that gesture. After the last call to , the property is set back to null. Therefore, arbitrary data can be preserved and passed between calls in a single gesture. Typically, this is used when fault resolution requires some modal UI prompt, and that provides a "Don't ask me for the remaining projects" flag. This flag can be stored in the property bag along with user's input, and queried on further calls to to suppress the UI and apply the same choice to all projects. See for more information.

The of that contains the view model for some solution properties. This property is primarily used by solution navigator.

Indicates that a project load/reload is in flight when receiving the solution load event OnAfterOpenProject. This property can be used to distinguish between a user loaded project (e.g. User reloaded or Add existing/new project) as opposed to a project that is being loaded in the background via the Asynchronous Solution Load feature. Using the fAdded flag from OnAfterOpenProject does not distinguish these two conditions. fAdded indicates only whether or not a project was loaded before or after the OnAfterOpenSolution event.

Specifies first VSPROPID_.

Specifies the provisional viewing status for the item.

Provisional viewing is disabled.

Provisional viewing is enabled, but may be slow.

Provisional viewing is enabled.

Describes the context when querying .

Indicates the project system is attempting to add a new project reference. Normally this happens when a user attempts to add a new project reference through the Reference Manager dialog. The flavor can deny the project reference and show the proper error dialog to prompt the user.

Indicates the project system is loading the references, which happens when loading a project. As the project is not loaded yet, if the flavor denies the project reference, the project will fail to load. Therefore the flavor should allow any project reference for this context, in order to unblock project loading. The flavor can deny the invalid project reference later when the context is .

Indicates the project system is attempting to refresh an existing project reference. This can occur in several scenarios. For example, when the project is first loaded, the project reference is unresolved, so the project system needs to refresh the reference to get it resolved. Additionally, when the reference project is changed, this flavored project also needs to refresh its project reference. The flavor should suppress any UI for this context to avoid confusing the user; instead the flavor can set a proper error message in the output parameter to show the error message in the Error List View.

Specifies the flags associated with .

This flag distinguishes two operations: "Remove From Project" and "Delete". If this flag is set, the directory is removed from project, but still exists on disk.

Provides search results representing an open document.

Exposes a single search provider.

Allows providers to return search results.

Describes a structured search string.

Manages parsing of the search query string.

Starts or stops a search operation.

Describes a token composing a search query.

Allows a navigation item to be saved after the window frame with which it is associated is closed. If the document associated with that window frame is opened again, the navigation item can be recreated using the method.

Provides additional access to the fundamental environment services, specifically those dealing with VSPackages and the registry.

Provides additional top-level manipulation or maintenance of the solution.

Provides access to events.

Listening interface that monitors any notifications of changes to the solution.

Filters events in Solution Explorer.

Provides programmatic access to the Solution Explorer window.

Used to define each user of the status bar.

Provides additional common strong name key utility methods.

Provides methods that interact with a task, such as starting it, cancelling it, or appending continuations.

This interface and its method are used to encapsulate a body of work that is going to be executed in a task. Instead of using this interface, you should use the helper classes found in the namespace for managed or include files for native code to create instances of from anonymous methods.

Interacts with a task completion source to set its state and get the internal instance.

Provides for asynchronous task updates for specific providers (or all providers) in task and error lists.

Provides task methods.

Creates and interacts with Asynchrous task blocks.

Implemented by the Visual Studio shell. This interface allows a modal dialog to be displayed on a background thread so that the IDE appears responsive even when the foreground thread is busy with an extended operation. You can get this interface through . This dialog differs from in that it can have a progress and cancel button at the same time. It also supports progress with an accurate percentage.

Enables the client to receive events about changes to the threaded wait dialog.

Additional methods used to manage the Toolbox.

Provides additional control over features pertaining to a tool window toolbar.

Used by projects to query the environment for permission to remove a file or directory in a solution.

Notifies clients of additional changes made to project files or directories.

Extends the functionality of the interface by providing access to additional window functionalities.

Controls the state of open documents within the environment.

Defines events for changes in the solution configuration. To monitor these events, implement the interface and use it as an argument of the method of .

This interface is implemented by clients of the SolutionBuildManager which need to be able to respond to the UpdateSolution_EndLastUpdateActionAsync event. When clients have completed their work, they invoke the CompleteLastUpdateAction() method on the provided callback, indicating the SolutionBuildManager need no longer wait for them. This is used to allow clients to avoid blocking for possibly long running work on the UI thread.

Provides a method for asynchronous implementers of UpdateSolution_EndLastUpdateActionAsync to notify the SolutionBuildManager when their work is complete. See .

Reports errors and informational messages.

Implemented by a window that wants to have searchable content. The search host will call this interface to initiate the search or obtain search options. When the interface is implemented by a tool window on the IVsWindowPane class or on VSFPROPID_ViewHelper, it will be called by shell on SearchEnabled to check if the search is enabled for the tool window. The shell will automatically set up a search host associated with the window, using the default placement for the search control in the shell frame/toolbar area.

Implements Boolean options for the common search control’s popup.

Provides UI options for the common search control popup.

Provides a custom search filter for the search string.

Notifies the window host that changes occurred to the search filters or options that have to be reflected in the UI.

Provides information about the window search filter.
