Access current code pane in Visual Studio Extension

Question

Im writing a visual studio (2010) extension with a right click menu whilst in a code view. I want to be able to examine the current code from my menu item event handler but havent been able to find somewhere in the object model to do this.

How do i access the code in the current window in a visual studio extension?

EDIT

Heres the code i used to get the current document text

 DTE dte = Package.GetGlobalService(typeof(DTE)) as DTE ;
 TextDocument activeDoc = dte.ActiveDocument.Object() as TextDocument;

 var text = activeDoc.CreateEditPoint(activeDoc.StartPoint).GetText(activeDoc.EndPoint);

Answer 1

You may be looking for

Document doc = DTE.ActiveDocument;
TextDocument txt = doc.Object() as TextDocument;

You should then be able to edit work with the TextDocument as needed.
