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 an Editor Factory.
