VSTextBuffer Object

The text buffer object represents a stream of Unicode text, which is generally associated with a file. A VsTextBuffer object can be used outside the context of the core editor, as in the case of a wizard.

The following table shows the interfaces of VSTextBuffer.

Method	Description
IOleCommandTarget	Standard OLE interface. Mainly used for undo/redo handling in the buffer.
IPersistFile	Standard OLE interface.
IPersistStream	Standard OLE interface.
IVsCompoundAction	Enables the creation of compounds actions (that is, actions that are grouped in a single undo/redo unit).
IVsPersistDocData	Enables persistence of document data managed by the text buffer.
IVsTextBuffer	Provides basic services; used by many clients.
IVsTextFind	Used to search a buffer.
IVsTextLines	Provides read and write capabilities using two-dimensional coordinates. Inherits from IVsTextBuffer.
IVsTextStream	Provides read and write capabilities using one-dimensional coordinates. Inherits from IVsTextBuffer.
IVsTextScanner	Provides fast, stream-oriented, sequential access to text in the buffer.
IVsUserData	Provides access to a generic collection of properties. The most important property is the name, or moniker, of the buffer. You can store your own random data in the buffer with this interface by creating a GUID and using it as a key.
IConnectionPointContainer	Supports connection points for events.

Remarks

The VSTextBuffer is usually found by a QueryInterface call on IVsTextBuffer. For more information, see Text Buffer.
