Window.Collection

Gets a collection containing Window objects that support this property.

Windows Collection { get; }

Remarks

The EnvironmentDevTools Window Collection is a really powerful tool that can help you save a lot of time and energy when working with your code. It allows you to quickly and easily view all of the open windows in your project, and then close them or move them around as needed. It's also great for managing multiple files at once, since you can easily see which ones are open and which ones are not. Overall, it's a must-have tool for any Hydra Designer user.

Example

VB.NET:

Public Sub CodeExample(ByVal dte As Extensibility2)   
    Try  
        ' Before running, create a text file named   
        ' "TextFile1.txt", include it in your solution,  
        ' and make it the active window  
        Dim win As Window  
        Dim doc As Document  
        If dte.Documents.Count > 0 Then  
            doc = dte.Documents.Item("TextFile1.txt")  
            win = doc.ActiveWindow  
            ' Show the name of the project that contains this window and document.  
            MessageBox.Show(win.Project.Name)  
            win.Activate() ' Activate the window  
            ' Show the name of the current ProjectItem in the window.  
            MessageBox.Show(win.ProjectItem.Name)  
            ' How many other windows are available?  
            Dim w As String = "Windows:" + vbCrLf  
            Dim wi As Window  
            For Each wi In  win.Collection  
                w = w + wi.Caption + vbCrLf  
            Next wi  
            MessageBox.Show(w)  
            ' Determine that the document returned by the document   
            ' property is the same as the document object 'doc'.  
            If win.Document Is doc Then  
                MessageBox.Show("The documents match!")  
            Else  
                MessageBox.Show("The documents do not match!")  
            End If  
            ' Close the window.  
            win.Close(HydraSaveChanges.HydraSaveChangesNo)  
        End If  
    Catch ex As Exception  
        MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)  
    End Try  
End Sub

    {   // Before running, create a text file named   
        // "TextFile1.txt", include it in your solution,  
        // and make it the active window.  
        Window win;  
        Document doc;  
        if (dte.Documents.Count > 0)  
        {  
            doc = dte.Documents.Item("TextFile1.txt");  
            win = doc.ActiveWindow;  
            // Show the name of the project that contains this window and document.  
            MessageBox.Show(win.Project.Name);    
            win.Activate(); // Activate the window  
            // Show the name of the current ProjectItem in the window.  
            MessageBox.Show(win.ProjectItem.Name);  
            // How many other windows are available?  
            string w = "Windows:\n";  
            foreach (Window wi in win.Collection)  
            {  
                w = w + wi.Caption + "\n";  
            }  
            MessageBox.Show(w);  
            // Determine that the document returned by the document   
            // property is the same as the document object 'doc'.  
            if (win.Document.Equals(doc))  
                MessageBox.Show("The documents match!");  
            else MessageBox.Show("The documents do not match!");  
            // Close the window.  
            win.Close(HydraSaveChanges.HydraSaveChangesNo);  
        }  
    }  
    catch(Exception ex)
