MTT_OPENBRACKET

Open bracket delimiter. Default value is a left parenthesis. To show nothing in the bracket location, return an empty string in GetMethodText.

MTT_TYPEPOSTFIX

Return type that is provided after the variable name in code. For example, the "Long" type in Visual Basic, which is written as "MyVariable AsLong" in code.

MTT_TYPEPREFIX

Return type that is provided before the variable name in code. For example, the "Long" type in Visual C++, which is written as "Long MyVariable" in code.

The view calls GetMethodText with both MTT_TYPEPREFIX and MTT_TYPEPOSTFIX. Return E_FAIL or E_NOTIMPL for the option that you do not implement. GetMethodText can return null for any of MethodTextType values except MTT_NAME. Any values that are null or an empty string, in the case of MTT_OPENBRACKET and MTT_CLOSEBRACKET, are not displayed. The return format is as follows: [TYPEPREFIX] [NAME] ( <parameters> ) [TYPEPOSTFIX] [DESCRIPTION].
