When an object is selected in the object browser, a description of the object appears in the lower pane of the window. The description text is built through a series of calls to AddDescriptionText. The environment will call your FillDescription method for the object list item of interest. The call passes in an IVsObjectBrowserDescription2 interface. You make multiple calls to the methods in the passed in interface to build up the various sections of the description text. The sections are identified with elements of the VSOBDESCRIPTIONSECTION enumeration. The environment takes care of formatting the text based on the description section.
If an item is listed in the description pane as:
int MyFunction ( CSTRING &string, BOOLfMyFlag, MYTYPEmtValue )
Member of Namespace1.CMyClass
