IVsExpansionManager Interface
Represents the expansion manager, which knows how to find and display lists of code snippets for a particular coding language.
Assembly: Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextManager.Interop.8.0 (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextManager.Interop.8.0.dll)
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | EnumerateExpansions(Guid, Int32, String[], Int32, Int32, Int32, IVsExpansionEnumeration) | Retrieves a list of code snippets for the specified coding language. |
![]() | GetExpansionByShortcut(IVsExpansionClient, Guid, String, IVsTextView, TextSpan[], Int32, String, String) | Retrieves the title and path to a snippet given its shortcut name. |
![]() | GetSnippetShortCutKeybindingState(Int32) | This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code. Determines if a key has been bound to the "Invoke Snippet From Shortcut" command. |
![]() | GetTokenPath(UInt32, String) | Returns the path to the specified location. |
![]() | InvokeInsertionUI(IVsTextView, IVsExpansionClient, Guid, String[], Int32, Int32, String[], Int32, Int32, String, String) | Shows an IntelliSense list of code snippets that can be inserted into the source through the provided IVsExpansionClient object. |
The expansion manager is a helper interface that provides access to information about code snippets. This interface can also present a list of snippets to be inserted at a particular place in a document.
Notes to Implementers:
This interface is implemented by Visual Studio.
Notes to Callers:
This interface is obtained by calling the GetExpansionManager method in the IVsTextManager2 interface.
This example shows how to retrieve the IVsExpansionManager interface given a service provider.
using System; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; using Microsoft.VisualStudio; using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextManager.Interop; using IOleServiceProvider = Microsoft.VisualStudio.OLE.Interop.IServiceProvider; namespace MyPackage { public class MyClass { public object GetService(IOleServiceProvider serviceProvider, Guid serviceGuid, Guid interfaceGuid) { IntPtr pUnknown = IntPtr.Zero; object unknown = null; int hr = serviceProvider.QueryService(ref serviceGuid, ref interfaceGuid, out pUnknown); if (ErrorHandler.Succeeded(hr)) { unknown = Marshal.GetObjectForIUnknown(pUnknown); } return unknown; } private IVsExpansionManager GetExpansionManager(IOleServiceProvider serviceProvider) { IVsExpansionManager expansionManager = null; IVsTextManager textManager; textmanager = (IVsTextManager)this.GetService(serviceProvider, typeof(SVsTextManager).GUID, typeof(IVsTextManager).GUID); if (textManager != null) { IVsTextManager2 textManager2 = (IVsTextManager2)textManager; if (textManager2 != null) { textManager2.GetExpansionManager(out expansionManager); } } } return expansionManager; } }
