Can add-in intercept a 'project is selected' VS command event?

Question

From How to intercept the Visual Studio command execution event of Project Build/Rebuild , I see at add-in level, project build/rebuild command event cannot be intercepted.

Now the question is if it is a 'select a project' (in Solution Explorer) event, can it be intercepted at add-in level? I look through VSConstants.VSStd2KCmdID and VSConstants.VSStd2KCmdID but not clear which is for that.

Thanks.

Hi Liang,

 

Thanks for your post.

As far as I know, there is no 'project is selected' VS command event exist.

As a workaround, I think you can detect the "Project Selected Event" with

IVsSelectionEvents.OnSelectionChanged Method

If I misunderstand your issue, be free to let me know.

Thanks. Seems that it is out of add-in extension capability. And VSPackage has deeper integration features than add-in.
