Visual Studion 2022 support

[Rand-Random]

Any time frame for the Visual Studio 2022 support?

1 second later... finds the PR: #75

[3F]

It's not yet completely finished for IDE but for MSBuild 17 should work fine even for current 1.14.1 as far as I understand

These tasks are also complicated due to dropped .NET Framework 4 support in VS 2022 :( But I already pushed some solution for this according to my new https://github.com/3F/netfx4sdk

Actually my latest draft in mentioned PR is already must be workable in IDE VS2022.

You can also *test this build because I need more tested instances for modern SDK17 before continue.
Let me know about possible errors etc. Thanks.
*Do not use in production in order to avoid some really critical errors with your data and so on.

I'll try to complete new release this month as much as possible.
Thanks for using!

Ah yes, any PRs are appreciated since I also need a time to fix other important bugs etc.

@3F
Have it in use for the last 2 weeks and no issue to be found.
Thanks for the hard work, highly appreciated.

The only complain I currently have, though I don't know if that is VS 2022 related, is that everytime I open a solution, I am greeted with 2 windows that I need to close.

1. Status Panel
2. Output

Maybe I am just blind, but I couldn't find an option to say, don't show them everytime.

Good! Thanks for the feedback.

v1.15 is officially released 5 days ago with other important changes. Don't forget to update it if you are still using the mentioned CI build.

Thanks for the hard work, highly appreciated.

You are welcome.

"Status panel" can be permanently closed as far as I remember it.

1. Make sure you have only 1 opened Visual Studio IDE instance.
2. Focus "Status panel", Click on close button. Then restart IDE to apply preferences.

But this is highly not recommended due to possible problems for modern VS

Known problems

    [VS2019] Build can be started before activation of our plugin inside VS IDE.
    This is a feature of the modern VS platform with lazy loading of all plugins. But you can still affect for priority activation:
    Solution: Just attach once our [status panel] from View - Other Windows and this will always activate our plugin before start.

Thus I'd recommend just resize it to zero height or attach to some invisible place in your other panels just to avoid described behavior.

Regarding to "Output" panel,

It seems only through new implementation of some new options to suppress it as I see,

vsSolutionBuildEvent/vsSolutionBuildEvent/Pkg.cs

Lines 184 to 192 in f1cc7d0

	public int OnAfterOpenSolution(object pUnkReserved, int fNewSolution)
	{
	Monitor.Enter(sync);
	try
	{
	//Log.paneAttach(GetOutputPane(GuidList.OWP_SBE, Settings.OWP_ITEM_VSSBE)); // also may be problem with toolWindow as in other COM variant -_-
	Log._.paneAttach(Settings.OWP_ITEM_VSSBE, Dte2);
	Log._.clear(false);
	Log._.show();

Open new issue to suggest this or push PR I'll review it later for future releases.

Also note, Output pane can be controlled through command events. You can suppress it and activate it when is needed through script.

To suppress it,

• Guid: {5EFC7975-14BC-11CF-9B2B-00AA00573819}
• id: 237
• Check [Cancel] + [Pre]

To activate it,

#[DTE exec: View.Output]

It can be also configured globally for any projects via vsCommandEvent where is also available raise function

#[DTE raise("{5EFC7975-14BC-11CF-9B2B-00AA00573819}", 237, "", "")]

The only complain I currently have, though I don't know if that is VS 2022 related, is that everytime I open a solution, I am greeted with 2 windows that I need to close.

New option added in 1.16 to suppress forced display of the output panel when opening a solution.
To activate, click on ⚙ - Plugin - Suppress forcing OWP

Or edit the file manually %UserProfile%\Documents\vsSolutionBuildEvent\.vssbe.user

  "SuppressInitOwp": true

Let me know (in new issue) if it does not help.
