Namespace:  EnvDTE
Assembly:  EnvDTE (in EnvDTE.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Function GetItem ( _
    Names As String _
) As UIHierarchyItem
UIHierarchyItem GetItem(
    string Names
)
UIHierarchyItem^ GetItem(
    [InAttribute] String^ Names
)
abstract GetItem : 
        Names:string -> UIHierarchyItem 
function GetItem(
    Names : String
) : UIHierarchyItem

Parameters

  • Names
    Type: System.String
    Required. The names in order from the root leading to subsequent subnodes. The last name in the array is the node returned as a UIHierarchyItem object.

Return Value

Type: EnvDTE.UIHierarchyItem
A UIHierarchyItem object.

Remarks

The path comprises node names separated by backslashes (\). If two backslashes are adjacent to one another, they are parsed as a single backslash character that is part of a node name and not a separator.

Note

For details on another way to access nodes in a UIHierarchy, see UIHierarchy object.

   Dim UIH As UIHierarchy = _
