Parameters

propName
Type: System.String

String containing the automation property name.

auto
Type: System.Object%

[out] Returns the automation object.

Return Value

Type: System.Int32
If the method succeeds, S_OK, otherwise an error code.

Implements

IVsPackage.GetAutomationObject(String, Object%)

Remarks

The default implementation will return auto as nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) if propName is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), indicating that there is no default automation object. If propName is non-nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), it will walk the metadata attributes searching for an options page that has a name of the format: <Category>.<Name>. If the options page has this format and indicates that it supports automation, its automation object will be returned.
