Remarks

This method displays the method tip and updates the text on the tip based on what the user has typed so far.

The base method executes a parse at the given location with the reason MethodTip. A list of overloaded methods matching the method name is created from the parse and these are displayed in the tool tip by calling the Refresh method. If any error occurs, the tool tip is immediately dismissed.

See IntelliSense Parameter Info (Managed Package Framework) for details on how the IntelliSense Method Tip feature can be supported in a language service.
