NoteNote
The returned text must include the "AS" keyword.
MTT_NAME Method name.

MTT_OPENBRACKET Open bracket delimiter. Default value is a left parenthesis. To show nothing in the bracket location, return an empty string in GetMethodText.
MTT_CLOSEBRACKET Closed bracket delimiter. Default value is a right parenthesis. To show nothing in the bracket location, return an empty string in GetMethodText.
MTT_DELIMITER Parameter delimiter. default is ", ". You must specify the space if you want it included in your delimiter string.

Remarks

The view calls GetMethodText with both MTT_TYPEPREFIX and MTT_TYPEPOSTFIX. Return E_FAIL or E_NOTIMPL for the option that you do not implement. GetMethodText can return nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) for any of MethodTextType values except MTT_NAME. Any values that are nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) or an empty string, in the case of MTT_OPENBRACKET and MTT_CLOSEBRACKET, are not displayed. The return format is as follows: [TYPEPREFIX] [NAME] ( <parameters> ) [TYPEPOSTFIX] [DESCRIPTION].
