Hello all,

I'm trying to understand how to write packages and I found the sample how to
create your own editor and implemented IVsEditorFactory following way:
===cut===
// Instantiate a code window of type IVsCodeWindow.
Guid clsidCodeWindow = typeof(VsCodeWindowClass).GUID;
Guid iidCodeWindow = typeof(IVsCodeWindow).GUID;
IVsCodeWindow pCodeWindow =
(IVsCodeWindow)this.parentPackage.CreateInstance(r ef clsidCodeWindow, ref
iidCodeWindow, typeof(IVsCodeWindow));
if (pCodeWindow != null)
{
// Give the text buffer to the code window.
// We are giving up ownership of the text buffer!
pCodeWindow.SetBuffer((IVsTextLines)pTextBuffer);
// Now tell the caller about all this new stuff
// that has been created.
ppunkDocView = Marshal.GetIUnknownForObject(pCodeWindow);
ppunkDocData = Marshal.GetIUnknownForObject(pTextBuffer);
// Specify the command UI to use so keypresses are
// automatically dealt with.
pguidCmdUI = VSConstants.GUID_TextEditorFactory;
// This caption is appended to the filename and
// lets us know our invocation of the core editor
// is up and running.
pbstrEditorCaption = " [MyPackage]";
retval = VSConstants.S_OK;
}
}
return retval;
===end of cut===
This code creates for me standard core editor, but I'd like to open file in
HTML editor. I was trying to find something like IVsHTMLWindow and
VsHtmlWindowClass but unsuccessfully.

Can anyone help me with creation of my own HTML based editor?

Thanks in advance,
Roman Petrenko

Well I believe that you end up with the same interface but the key is
the Guid. Each window type has it's own Guid and you should be able to
specify which editor you want if you can get the right guid. Try
digging through the registry at [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft
\VisualStudio\9.0\Editors] they usually have some helpful names that
will help you figure out what is what. I only have vs2005 on my
machine but the editor with the guid {4D30FDB3-AB3E-4810-
B6F2-64627BCCA384} seems pretty promising.

Hello,
It sad to say but your surmise doesn't work since class
4D30FDB3-AB3E-4810-B6F2-64627BCCA384 is not registered as many other guids
you can find under Editors key in registry. As far as I understand it should
be one of the classes from ...VisualStudio\8.0\CLSID but how to get correct
one :(

Still waiting for the help,

Just try looking through all of the editors under that key. They have
plain text names that should allow you to figure out their meaning. :-D
