I'm trying to make a plugin that captures the edit.copy
command of visual studio, and skips it if nothing is selected.
I have installed the Visual Studio SDK and created a VSPackage project. My initialize method curently looks like the following:
private EnvDTE.DTE m_objDTE = null;
protected override void Initialize()
{
Debug.WriteLine (string.Format(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, "Entering Initialize() of: {0}", this.ToString()));
base.Initialize();
m_objDTE = (EnvDTE.DTE)GetService(typeof(EnvDTE.DTE));
m_objDTE.Events.CommandEvents.BeforeExecute += (
string Guid,
int ID,
Object CustomIn,
Object CustomOut,
ref bool CancelDefault
) =>
{
EnvDTE.Command objCommand;
string commandName = "";
objCommand = m_objDTE.Commands.Item(Guid, ID);
if (objCommand != null)
{
commandName = objCommand.Name;
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(commandName))
{
commandName = "<unnamed>";
}
}
Debug.WriteLine("Before executing command with Guid=" + Guid + " and ID=" + ID + " named " + commandName);
};
}
The Initialize()
method is called when a solution is opened, I have the [ProvideAutoLoad(UIContextGuids80.SolutionExists)]
tag added to my package. But the BeforeExecute is not called when I do things, like pressing ctrl + c
which is a command, With this code I expect all commands to be printed in the debug console, why isn't this happening?
Here is the code I used that works:
using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Globalization;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.ComponentModel.Design;
using Microsoft.Win32;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.OLE.Interop;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell;
using EnvDTE;

[InstalledProductRegistration("#110", "#112", "1.0", IconResourceID = 400)]
[Guid(GuidList.guidNoCopyPkgString)]
[ProvideAutoLoad(UIContextGuids80.SolutionExists)]
public sealed class NoCopyPackage : Package
{
public NoCopyPackage()
{
Debug.WriteLine(string.Format(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, "Entering constructor for: {0}", this.ToString()));
}

private CommandEvents _pasteEvent;
protected override void Initialize()
{
Debug.WriteLine (string.Format(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, "Entering Initialize() of: {0}", this.ToString()));
base.Initialize();
m_objDTE = (DTE)GetService(typeof(DTE));
var pasteGuid = typeof(VSConstants.VSStd97CmdID).GUID.ToString("B");
var pasteID = (int)VSConstants.VSStd97CmdID.Copy;
_pasteEvent = m_objDTE.Events.CommandEvents[pasteGuid, pasteID];
_pasteEvent.BeforeExecute += CopyRead;
}
#endregion
private void CopyRead (
string Guid,
int ID,
Object CustomIn,
Object CustomOut,
ref bool CancelDefault
)
{
EnvDTE.Command objCommand;
string commandName = "";
objCommand = m_objDTE.Commands.Item(Guid, ID);
if (objCommand != null)
{
commandName = objCommand.Name;
}
if (commandName.Equals("Edit.Copy"))
{
TextSelection textSelection = (TextSelection)m_objDTE.ActiveDocument.Selection;
if (textSelection.IsEmpty)
{
CancelDefault = true;
}
}
}
}
