Remarks

COM Signature

   [in] REFGUID rguidLogicalView,  
   [out, retval] BSTR *pbstrPhysicalView  
);

The environment calls this method when it needs to determine what physical view string your editor factory associates with a given logical view GUID. The environment is handed the logical view GUID by the caller of OpenStandardEditor. Before it can call InitializeEditorInstance, it first needs to associate that logical view GUID with the appropriate physical view string for the editor factory.

Physical views correspond to the actual types of windows that an editor factory can create. For example, the Visual Basic editor factory can create a code window or a forms designer. Logical view GUIDs (LOGVIEWIDS) allow the caller to request the specific view that matches the reason the caller is requesting the view. For example, the third party can ask for the view appropriate for debugging (LOGVIEWID_Debugging) or for navigating the cursor in the editor (LOGVIEWID_TextView).
