Parameters

Return Value

Type: System.Int32
If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an error code.

Remarks

COM Signature

From textmgr.idl:

HRESULT IVsTextLayer::MapLocalSpansToTextOriginatingLayer(
   [in] DWORD dwFlags,
   [in] IVsEnumTextSpans *pLocalSpanEnum,
   [out] IVsTextLayer **ppTargetLayer,
   [out] IVsEnumTextSpans **ppTargetSpanEnum
);

MapLocalSpansToTextOriginatingLayer will take a set of local spans and map them down to the shallowest layer that originates text. You are not guaranteed that you will get back the layer that actually originates a given set of text.
