I have a Visual Studio extension that opens editors using IVSUIShell.CreateDocumentWindow.
I am now trying to use Language Server (LSP) for the editors from this extension -
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/extensibility/adding-an-lsp-extension?view=vs-2022
But on opening the editor, Language Client is not getting invoked. Is this because ContentType for the editor is not set? How to set ContentType for an editor opened using IVSUIShell.CreateDocumentWindow ?

Hello, what is your language? Could you tell me how you create LanguageClient?
Editors are opened to display SQL queries retrieved from a database. There is no physical file.
Editors are opened calling 'IVSUIShell.CreateDocumentWindow' to display SQL queries to the user.
LanguageClient is created following this -
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/extensibility/adding-an-lsp-extension?view=vs-2022
implementing
Microsoft.VisualStudio.LanguageServer.Client.ILanguageClient
.sql is set as file extension
[Export]
[FileExtension(".sql")]
LanguageClient gets invoked when I open a local file with .sql extension from disk.
'pszMkDocument' parameter passed to 'IVSUIShell.CreateDocumentWindow' has .sql extension but LanguageClient doesn't get invoked in this case.
