Remarks

This interface allows you to specify marker behavior for a custom marker type. You can still change certain marker attributes using the IVsTextMarker interface (SetBehavior), SetVisualStyle, and so on) as well as by supplying an IVsTextMarkerClient when you create a marker.

Implement IVsPackageDefinedTextMarkerType to describe how a given marker behaves and appears to the user. The environment calls the methods of IVsPackageDefinedTextMarkerType when new customization information is built as follows:

User starts the integrated development environment (IDE) for the first time.
User selects Options on the Tools menu, and then clicks the Reset Defaults button in the Font and Colors dialog box.

Notes to Implementers
