I need to intercept ECMD_SHOWMEMBERLIST and ECMD_COMPLETEWORD events and
remove certain classes, methods, etc. that aren't supported for a project
subtype.

There are samples on how to do this (ProjectSubType, FigPkg), but I'd like
to target the Express products as well as Professional, and my understanding
is that the Express products don't support VsPackages, but do support AddIns.

Is it possible to accomplish this in an AddIn?

Thanks in advance.

Scott,

This is off the top of my head, but I think I read you could
QueryInterface the DTE object for a IServiceProvider interface, and
from there get all the services and interfaces available to packages.

But, given that MS is trying to cut down on the features available in
the express editions (last time I read they didn't support macros and I
felt pity for the poor chaps using it), probably that is disabled as
well. They can easily block it.

Best,

J
