Parameters

  • pszSoFar
    Type: System.String

    [in] A string containing the text typed by the user.

  • iLength
    Type: System.Int32

    [in] Integer containing the length of the string.

  • piIndex
    Type: System.Int32%

    [out] Returns an integer specifying the index.

Return Value

Type: System.Int32
If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an error code.

Remarks

COM Signature

From textmgr.idl:

HRESULT IVsCompletionSet::GetBestMatch(
   [in] const WCHAR *pszSoFar,
   [in] long iLength,
   [out] long *piIndex,
   [out] DWORD *pdwFlags
);

Implement this method to determine the closest matching completion for a word given the text typed by the user. The view calls this method and passes in a string containing the text and the length of the string. In response to this call, return an index position into the completion set that identifies the best match, and a flag identifying the type of match performed.

The view calls this method only if CSF_CUSTOMMATCHING is specified in the completion set's flags.

If pdwFlags is set to either GBM_SELECT or GBM_UNIQUE, then the default matching in the view uses case-sensitive comparison.
