Remarks

The view calls GetMethodText with both MTT_TYPEPREFIX and MTT_TYPEPOSTFIX. Return E_FAIL or E_NOTIMPL for the option that you do not implement. GetMethodText can return null for any of MethodTextType values except MTT_NAME. Any values that are null or an empty string, in the case of MTT_OPENBRACKET and MTT_CLOSEBRACKET, are not displayed. The return format is as follows: [TYPEPREFIX] [NAME] ( <parameters> ) [TYPEPOSTFIX] [DESCRIPTION].
