COM Signature

From textmgr.idl:

C++

HRESULT IVsMethodData::GetContextStream(
   [out] long *piPos, 
   [out] long *piLength
);

The context stream is the position and length of the text in the buffer that should not be obscured by the tip window, but to which the content of the tip is applied. Use this method to specify the context stream. If you do not implement this method, then the view determines where to place the method tip window.
