I'm working on a project system derived from the MyC sample in the VSIP
EnvSDK. I'd like to add IVsPropertyPage functionality to the Build property
page, to place it under a category. I've done this successfully with the
Debug property page, which has a different implementation. I tried adding
the IVsPropertyPage interface to CBuildPPG, but get_CategoryTitle() is never
called. Is there something else I need to do in order to trigger this call
from the framework?

Just as you figured out, the CBuildPPG has a different implementation from
the CDebugPPG(which derived from a CSettingsPage templete class), so we
would like to know how do you add the IVsPropertyPage interface to the
CBuildPPG class?

Thanks!

Basically I just added IVsPropertyPage as one of the interfaces implemented
by the CBuildPPG class:

class ATL_NO_VTABLE CBuildPPG :
public CComObjectRootEx<CComSingleThreadModel>,
public CComCoClass<CBuildPPG, &CLSID_BuildPPG>,
public IPVFPrjPropertyPageImpl<CBuildPPG>,
public IVsPropertyPage, // XXX === Added This One === XXX
public CVsBaseDialogImpl<CBuildPPG>
{

and implemented get_CategoryTitle() in the CBuildPPG class pretty much the
same as in CSettingsPage for the Debug property page. The only difference
was in how to set the category title for the page, but since this instance of
get_CategoryTitle() was never called, that didn't really matter much.

Thanks

I should probably clarify my problem statement. What I want to accomplish is
implementation of a property page like the "Command Line" page in VC++ that
can be found under the project property categories C/C++, Linker, Resources,
etc. The approach described previously was the one I used, but if there is a
better/easier way I'm all for it.

thanks

Hi Don,

I got it, would you please send me a self alone sample project(zipped) for
test, we need perform some further research on this issue.(please remove
the "online" of my email address)

Thanks!

Hi Joseph,

I have already received your sample project, I will contact our VSIP
support engineers to help you on this issue. We will update you as soon as
we get anything out.

Thanks for your understanding!

Hi Don,

I'm guessing that you may not have an entry in that COM map for
IVsPropertyPage. I tried exactly what you described and I get the Build
page listed under the category string I supplied in my get_CategoryTitle
implementation. Below are the modifications I made to the MyC sample
package targeting Whidbey Beta 2. Given you are not seeing this method even
getting called, I suspect you might be missing that
COM_INTERFACE_ENTRY(IVsPropertyPage) entry in the COM map below.

// BuildPPG.h

class ATL_NO_VTABLE CBuildPPG :
public CComObjectRootEx<CComSingleThreadModel>,
public CComCoClass<CBuildPPG, &CLSID_BuildPPG>,
public IMyCPrjPropertyPageImpl<CBuildPPG>,
    public IVsPropertyPage,
public CVsBaseDialogImpl<CBuildPPG>
{
public:

enum {IDD = IDD_PP_BUILD};

CBuildPPG();
~CBuildPPG();

static HRESULT WINAPI UpdateRegistry( /* [in] */ BOOL bRegister);

BEGIN_COM_MAP(CBuildPPG)
COM_INTERFACE_ENTRY(IPropertyPage)
COM_INTERFACE_ENTRY(IVsPropertyPage)
END_COM_MAP()

........

public:
STDMETHOD(get_CategoryTitle)(UINT iLevel, BSTR* pbstrCategory);

..........

};

// BuildPPG.cpp

HRESULT CBuildPPG::get_CategoryTitle(UINT iLevel, BSTR* pbstrCategory)
{
    if (iLevel==0)
    {
        CComBSTR bstrMyCategory(_T("My Category"));
        *pbstrCategory = bstrMyCategory.Detach();
    }
    return S_FALSE;
}

Sincerely,

Of course this solved my problem. Sheesh. Thank you for helping this old
Unix programmer migrate to Windows.
