Remarks
Call this function when your project system needs to handle external files. HierUtil7 is a class library that implements many of the elements needed in a custom project. The files vsdoc.cpp and hu_util.cpp, found in <envsdk>\common\HierUtil7 folder, show implementations of IVsExternalFilesManger. Additionally, Saving a Standard Document shows how to change a file's ownership to the Miscellaneous Files project.
Notes to Implementers
IVsExternalFilesManager is implemented by the Miscellaneous Files (External Files) project. For example, to handle files from "directory-based" project systems, the environment hands an open file to the Miscellaneous Files project after a Save As operation saves the file outside of the original directory of the project.
To access this interface, call Query Service on SVsExternalFilesManager Service and pass in a value of IID_IVsExternalFilesManager.
Hinweis
