Macro to Clear the Immediate Window - Visual Studio 2005

In Visual Studio 2005, it can be useful to clear the Immediate Window at the start of a program execution. This can be accomplished by first implementing the following code into the code for your Visual Studio macros. Then, by setting a breakpoint on the first line of the program and specifying When Hit for the breakpoint to Run a macro > Macros.MyMacros.ImmediateWindow.ClearAndActivate, the Immediate Window will be cleared every time you start the program.

        Dim win As Window = DTE.ActiveWindow
        DTE.Windows.Item(GUID).Activate()
        DTE.ExecuteCommand("Edit.SelectAll")
        DTE.ExecuteCommand("Edit.ClearAll")
        win.Activate()

    End Sub
