New Post: Customise properties for certain file types

DmitryPavlov — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 11:26:06 GMT

You are welcome, Mike!

1. You should write in you custom project class code like this:

public override FileNode CreateFileNode(ProjectElement item)
    {
      if (item == null)
      {
        throw new ArgumentNullException("item");
      }
      return new YourCustomFileNode(this, item);
    }

2. Inherit YourCustomFileNode class from MPF FileNode class

3. Override NodeProperties creation in custom file node:

protected override NodeProperties CreatePropertiesObject()
    {
      return new YourCustomFileNodeProperties(this);
    }

4. And inherit YourCustomFileNodeProperties from MPF FileNodeProperties class

NOTE: I'm not sure it is correct but I remember right I had problems with custom properties class until I added this property to it:

     [Browsable(false)]
       public string SubType
       {
           get
           {
               return Node.SubType;
           }
           set
           {
               Node.SubType = value;
           }
       }

Hope that saves the time.

Another tip - to understand how to expose properties - look at the implementation of some MPF NodeProperties class inheritors.

Best wishes,

Dmitry Pavlov

Hi Dmitry,

We use a custom project type.

Your suggestion in point 2 is exactly what I was looking for!

Thanks very much!

Hi Mike,

I'm not I understood the situation yet, so I'd like to ask some questions to understand it:

1. Do you use custom project type based or you extend C# or other project types?

2. In case your answer for Q1 - did you tried to create different custom FileNode inheritors and override NodeProperties for them with specific set of properties for different file types?

Best wishes,

Dmitry Pavlov

Hi,

My team use a custom project type and I want to add custom properties to the properties window depending on the file extension or file type. e.g. if its a css file then I want to see an extra property that is specific to that file type. Same would apply to js files etc.

So we have our own version of the SingleFileGeneratorNodeProperties class which allows us to add properties, but this will mean that these properties are available for all file types, when we would like to make them specific as mentioned above.

Please help.

Thanks,

Mike

New Post: How to control the contex menu over the FileNode

kobrigo — Wed, 20 May 2009 08:15:03 GMT

Hi all,

I have been trying to modify the context menu that opens when you right-click on a file node.

Specifically I am trying to remove the rename command from that menu. My cusrom project should not enable changing the name of some of the files.

I was able to remove the command from the context menu with changing the function in HierarchyNode called:

protected virtual QueryStatusResult QueryStatusCommandFromOleCommandTarget(Guid cmdGroup, uint cmd, out bool handled)

I've removed the line

case VsCommands.Rename:

This function is being called if the call has originated from QueryStatus of the IOleCommandTarget interface. but there is anothen similar function called QueryStatusCommand of the IVsUIHierarchy interface.

My question is: how can I know when these functions are being called and what commands should be blocked in what function?

Thanks in advnace

New Post: Flavored "Outer" Project

flagrant99 — Fri, 01 May 2009 18:15:11 GMT

It appears MPF (Managed Package Framework) is much larger than just MPFProj (Microsoft.VisualStudio.Package). MPFProj is ONLY used for "Inner" "REAL" custom Projects. If you want to flavor MPFProj will not help.

flagrant99 — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 15:10:11 GMT

Why does MPF only support "Inner" "REAL" custom Projects and NOT Flavored "Outer" Project like FlavoredProjectFactoryBase/FlavoredProjectBase from VS 2008 SDK. In other words why are these in seperate SDK's?

New Post: Build commands

djreichard — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 20:06:21 GMT

I am creating a Custom Project. I followed mostly the WOW example.

However, my Build Solution command fails with and "Unexpected Error" and I have no Project specific build commands. What am I missing?

My code is similar enough to the WOW Studio example, but it has Build enabled my does not.

Are their specific functions needed, specific properties etc. to show this is a buildable project?

This is not using .NET it has custom MSBuild targets. The project file does build using MSBuild from the command line. I just cannot get the menus to show.

New Post: How to hide files from the Solution Explorer

webmanAv — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 16:33:10 GMT

I developed CustomProject based on MPFProj.
My project template contains files that I want to hide from Solution Explorer. (Assume that All the files with specific extension should be hidden)
However those files logically must be included in the project system
How can I do it easily?
Thanks,
Aviram.

New Post: Who can help me with starting contribution?

DmitryPavlov — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 06:36:01 GMT

Hello,

I’m interesting in who can help me to start contributing?

I have signed Assignment Agreement covering my contribution to the Visual Studio Managed Package Framework for MPFProj. And I’ve been informed by Jennifer Crow [Contribution Assignment Administrator from Source Asset Management] about receiving my signed Assignment Agreement.

She also said me following: “Please send any questions regarding this agreement or the project itself to the project owner by submitting a discussion item to the project’s discussion board.”

What are next steps?

Best wishes,

Dmitry Pavlov
