I have a project subtype using the MPF, and I am trying to bold an item
in the hierarchy.

If I call IVsUIHierarchyWindow::ExpandItem during the
OnAggregationComplete method, it fails.

If I create a new menu command and call the ExpandItem function here, in
response to a UI event, it works just fine.

My problem is I need to set the item as bold after the project has
loaded - when is the appropriate time to do this, since it is failing
during OnAggregationComplete?

I am using the April SDK release.

Cheers,

Stuart

It works if I issue a IVsUIShell::PostExecCommand - is this the expected
behaviour?

Cheers,

Stuart

Hi Stuart,

I have consulted this issue woth our product team members, they recommend
registering for solution events and executing the command during
OnAfterOpenProject(), OnAggregationComplete is too early.

Thanks!

Thanks for the response, Gary.

Sorry - I should have stated I tried that - to no avail. The same problem occurs - still appears to be too early.

Cheers,

Stuart

In this scenario, I think using IVsUIShell::PostExecCommand to call that
method would be the best choice.

Good Luck!
