A listener to the event raised when a text view adapter (IVsTextView) is created and initialized.

Namespace:   Microsoft.VisualStudio.Editor
Assembly:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.Editor (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Editor.dll)

public interface IVsTextViewCreationListener

NameDescription
System_CAPS_pubmethodVsTextViewCreated(IVsTextView)

Called when a IVsTextView adapter has been created and initialized.

Exporters must mark their export using the following attribute:

[Export(typeof(IVsTextViewCreationListener))] 

You filter this listener for a specific ContentTypeAttribute and TextViewRoleAttribute.

For example, to restrict this listener to views of editable text, you would use the following attributes:

[Export(typeof(IVsTextViewCreationListener))]
[ContentType("text")]
[TextViewRole(PredefinedTextViewRoles.Editable)]

For more information about using ContentTypeAttribute and TextViewRoleAttribute, see Editor Extension Points.

You can use this listener when you want to handle specific keystrokes in your extension. You do this by getting a reference to the text view adapter (IVsTextView) when the text view is created, then using this reference to add a command filter to a view (by using AddCommandFilter).
