Visual Studio 2010 Extensions - visual-studio-2010

Question

I'm writing my own abstract extension for Visual Studio 2010, it makes similary functionality as Ook Language Integration. I have a question, is it possibly to mix my own AutoCompletion with standart C++ autocompletion of VS? How to do it? Is in need to use libraries of VS and call some methods?

Answer 1

This is a very good example about adding features to C# intellisense.
First of all you should capture the completionSession and use it.
Like this snippet, but in C++
[Export(typeof(IIntellisensePresenterProvider))]
[ContentType("text")]
[Order(Before = "Default Completion Presenter")]
[Name("Object Intellisense Presenter")]
internal class IntellisensePresenterProvider : IIntellisensePresenterProvider
{
[Import(typeof(SVsServiceProvider))]
IServiceProvider ServiceProvider { get; set; }
#region Try Create Intellisense Presenter
#region Documentation
/// <summary>
/// Inject the IntelliSense presenter
/// </summary>
/// <param name="session"></param>
/// <returns></returns>
#endregion // Documentation
public IIntellisensePresenter TryCreateIntellisensePresenter(IIntellisenseSession session)
{
#region Validation (is C#)
const string CSHARP_CONTENT = "CSharp";
if (session.TextView.TextBuffer.ContentType.TypeName != CSHARP_CONTENT)
{
return null;
}
#endregion // Validation
ICompletionSession completionSession = session as ICompletionSession;
if (completionSession != null)
{
var presenter = new IntelliSenseViewModel(ServiceProvider, completionSession);
return presenter;
}
return null;
}
#endregion // Try Create Intellisense Presenter
}
Hope helps!
