Remarks

In addition to the cursor, Enter, Backspace, and Delete key commands, this base class provides support for the following commands:

Command	Description
AUTOCOMPLETE	IntelliSense: select member from member list.
SHOWMEMBERLIST	IntelliSense: show member list.
COMPLETEWORD	IntelliSense: complete word being typed.
PARAMINFO	IntelliSense: show parameter information.
QUICKINFO	IntelliSense: show information about an identifier.
GotoDefn	Editing (advanced): go to definition.
GotoDecl	Editing (advanced): go to declaration.
GotoRef	Editing (advanced): go to a reference.
COMMENT_BLOCK	Editing (advanced): comment a span of code.
UNCOMMENT_BLOCK	Editing (Advanced): uncomment a span of code.
OUTLN_STOP_HIDING_ALL	Editing (outlining): stop outlining.
OUTLN_START_AUTOHIDING	Editing (outlining): toggle outlining.
SHOWCONTEXTMENU	Editing: show a context menu.

Notes to Implementers

This class already implements all of the support for IntelliSense as well as various advanced editing features. However, if you want to support additional commands in your language service, then you must derive a class from this class and override the appropriate methods:

• QueryCommandStatus (to indicate support for your commands)

• QueryParameterList (if your commands require parameters)

• HandlePreExec (if your commands require some set up)

• HandlePostExec(Guid%, UInt32, UInt32, IntPtr, IntPtr) (if your commands require clean up after execution).

• ExecCommand (to execute the command).

In addition, you must override the CreateViewFilter method in the LanguageService class to create an instance of your version of the ViewFilter class.

Notes to Callers

This class is instantiated in the CreateViewFilter method of the LanguageService class that is in turn called from the OnNewView method in the CodeWindowManager class when a view is attached to a source file.
