  • 0

I am trying to catch Visual Studio Extension events in browser javascript, DTE is available through window.external:

window.external.DTE.Events.SolutionEvents.Opened = ...

Access is ok up to “Events”, but a SolutionEvents seems not to be found. I’ve checke the #imported tlb, _Events does have a get_SolutionEvents member.

DTE is the correct object (calling some methods through it works fine…)

I haven’t done much yet with DTE, and I’m a complete javascript n00b. Any suggestions?

[update] The javascript runs in a web browser control hosted in a DTE tool window. The addin is written in C++/ATL.

    As a quick answer, without asking why you need this, I would…

    • Through a C# handler catch the Opened
      event.
    • From there, I would call a Javascript method in your web page by
      using DOM.

    Is your javascript loaded in a WebBrowser control? It would be easier to access DOM.
