Remarks

An editor factory acts like an OLE IClassFactory for instantiating document view objects and document data objects in an editor. The editor factory architecture allows you to create editors that support data/view separation (for example, an editor could support the Window.NewWindow functionality). For more information, see How to: Register Editor Factories.

The following table lists examples of common tasks using IVsEditorFactory.

To do this	See
Attach a view to an existing buffer	How to: Attach Views to Document Data
Register your editor factory with the environment	How to: Register Editor Factories
Customize the Visual Studio core editor with your language service	Instantiating the Core Editor By Using the Legacy API Inside the Core Editor Developing a Language Service

Implement this interface to support loading your editor in the environment in response to a third party or the environment calling OpenSpecificEditor or OpenStandardEditor.
