   Dim SolnEx As Window = DTE.Windows.Item _  
   (Constants.vsWindowKindSolutionExplorer)  
   Dim CA As ContextAttribute

   ' Associate a new F1 keyword with Solution Explorer.  
   SolnEx.ContextAttributes.Add("ANewKeyword", 900, _  
   vsContextAttributeType.vsContextAttributeLookupF1)  
   ListAttr(SolnEx, CA)  
   SolnEx.ContextAttributes.Refresh()  
   ' Delete the new F1 keyword from Solution Explorer.

End Sub  

Sub ListAttr(ByVal SolnEx As Object, ByVal CA As ContextAttribute)  
   ' Support function for CATest(). Lists the current attributes   
   ' associated with Solution Explorer.  
   Dim msg As String  

   MsgBox("Number of context attributes in Solution Explorer: " & _  
   SolnEx.ContextAttributes.Count)  
   For Each CA In SolnEx.ContextAttributes  
      msg = msg & CA.Name & Chr(13)  
   Next  
   MsgBox(msg)  
   msg = ""  
End Sub

Remarks

Fetching a ContextAttributes collection does not ensure that it is up to date, so you must call this method to refresh the collection. Adding and removing attributes refreshes the collection.
