I would like use macros for publishing my webapplication project. The little problem is, DTE.ExecuteCommand run asynchronously, and I need to wait until the command is done.
Example:
DTE.Windows.Item(Constants.vsWindowKindSolutionExplorer).Activate()
DTE.ActiveWindow.Object.GetItem("04 - Products\04 - Products.WSS").Select(vsUISelectionType.vsUISelectionTypeSelect)
DTE.ExecuteCommand("ClassViewContextMenus.ClassViewProject.Publish")
'// now I want copy (and overwrite) some files, but AFTER the publish
Is there some synchronization object or information about state of executed command?
Thanks
Hey guys, if you're still looking for an answer to this one try this.
Tie into the publish events and on a successful push call your external command. I'm doing a similar thing with building the solution and then firing the MSpec test runner (blog post).
To do this you need to add in a hook for PublishEvents_OnPublishDone. Do this by going to the EnvironmentEvents Module and addin the following:
<System.contextStaticAttribute()> Public WithEvents PublishEvents As EnvDTE80.PublishEvents
Private Sub PublishEvents_OnPublishDone(ByVal Success As Boolean) Handles PublishEvents.OnPublishDone
'call custom module sub here.
End Sub
If you only want to run the external command sometimes do something like this. Create your macro like this:
Public runExternalCommandOnComplete As Boolean = False
Sub PublishAndRunExternalCommand()
DTE.Windows.Item(Constants.vsWindowKindSolutionExplorer).Activate()
DTE.ActiveWindow.Object.GetItem("04 - Products\04 - Products.WSS").Select(vsUISelectionType.vsUISelectionTypeSelect)
DTE.ExecuteCommand("ClassViewContextMenus.ClassViewProject.Publish")
runExternalCommandOnComplete = True
End Sub
Then in EnvironmentEvents add this: (Note: CustomMacros is the name of the module where you put the code above)
<System.contextStaticAttribute()> Public WithEvents PublishEvents As EnvDTE80.PublishEvents
Private Sub PublishEvents_OnPublishDone(ByVal Success As Boolean) Handles PublishEvents.OnPublishDone
CustomMacros.runExternalCommandOnComplete = False
'Where ExternalCommand1 matches the command you want to run
DTE.ExecuteCommand("Tools.ExternalCommand1")
End Sub
That should do it.
Cheers,

Here's how you can compile single file, and then link whole solution for example:
Dim WithEvents t As Timers.Timer
Sub test()
DTE.ExecuteCommand("Build.Compile")
t = New Timers.Timer
t.Interval = 0.05
t.Start()
End Sub
Sub t_Elapsed(ByVal ee As Object, ByVal dd As Timers.ElapsedEventArgs) Handles t.Elapsed
If DTE.Solution.SolutionBuild.BuildState <> vsBuildState.vsBuildStateInProgress Then
t.Stop()
DTE.ExecuteCommand("Build.Link")
End If
End Sub
