Please remember that the code below comes with a Disclaimer 

 In a VS package

/// <summary>

/// This function is the callback used to execute a command when the a menu item is clicked.

/// See the Initialize method to see how the menu item is associated to this function using

/// </summary>

private void MenuItemCallback(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

IVsLaunchPad lp = GetService(typeof(SVsLaunchPad)) as IVsLaunchPad;

IVsOutputWindow ow = GetService(typeof(SVsOutputWindow)) as IVsOutputWindow;

Guid owguid = new Guid();

int exCd = ow.CreatePane(ref owguid,"temp pane", 1, 1);

IVsOutputWindowPane owp;

ow.GetPane(ref owguid, out owp);

uint exitcode = 0;

lp.ExecCommand(null, "c:\\temp\\myTempApp.exe", "c:\\temp\\",

(uint)Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop._LAUNCHPAD_FLAGS.LPF_PipeStdoutToOutputWindow,

owp, (uint)Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.VSTASKCATEGORY.CAT_USER,

Getting Macro project properties

I was trying to get properties of a Macro project and I came up with the following. Please remember that the code below comes with a Disclaimer

Hope it helps

Tufan

Sub GetMacroPrjProperties()

Dim projectPath As String = "Macros\MyMacros" 'Get the Macro Explorer window and activate it
Dim macrosWin As Window = DTE.Windows.Item(Constants.vsWindowKindMacroExplorer) macrosWin.Activate() 'Get the UIHierarchy for Macro Explorer
Dim macroExpl As UIHierarchy = macrosWin.Object
Dim macroProjectHierarchy As UIHierarchyItem = macroExpl.GetItem(projectPath)
'Get the Properties window and activate it
Dim propWin As EnvDTE.Window = DTE.Windows.Item(Constants.vsWindowKindProperties)
propWin.Activate() 'Select the Macro Project which will also set the SelectionContainer for Properties window
macroProjectHierarchy.Select(vsUISelectionType.vsUISelectionTypeSelect) 'DTE.SelectedItems.SelectionContainer.Item(1) should get you a VSMacroHierarchyLib.IProjectProps
Debug.Print(DTE.SelectedItems.SelectionContainer.Item(1).Name)
Debug.Print(DTE.SelectedItems.SelectionContainer.Item(1).StorageFormat)

End Sub
