Invoking a Wizard

See Also

The environment invokes wizards using a set of parameters you provide in code. Depending on whether the wizard is a AddItem wizard or a NewProject wizard, these parameters may differ slightly.

For each wizard the environment invokes, it calls the IDTWizard::Execute method and pass it the following information:

• The DTE object, which is the root of the Add-in model.
  
  
• The hWnd to the parent for the wizard dialog.
  
  
• Applicable context parameters for the type of wizard you are invoking. These differ based on whether the wizard is launched from the Add Item or New Project dialog box.
  
  
• Any custom parameters you specify in the .vsz file.

The Execute method returns that the wizard succeeded, failed, or that the user cancelled.
