Parameters

Name
Type: String

Required. Specifies the name (in quotes or between angle brackets <>) of the type library being imported.

Location
Type: Object

Required. The path or file name of the file to be modified. If the file does not exist, it is created automatically. The file is added to the project if it is not already a project item. If the file cannot be created and added to the project, then AddImport fails.

Position
Type: Object

Required. Default = 0. The code element after which to add the new element. If the value is a CodeElement, then the new element is added immediately after it.

Since collections begin their count at one, passing 0 indicates that the new element should be placed at the beginning of the collection. A value of -1 means the element should be placed at the end.

Attributes
Type: String

Optional. One or more #import attributes. For a complete list, see the #import Attributes section of The #import Directive. Separate attributes with either a space or comma.

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCCodeModel.VCCodeImport
A VCCodeImport object.

Remarks

Call this function to insert a #import element into the specified file contained by the VCCodeModel object.
