COM Signature

From textmgr.idl:

const WCHAR * IVsMethodData::GetMethodText(
   [in] long iMethod, 
   [in] MethodTextType type
);

This method is called repeatedly by the view to display the various portions of the method text as determined by the values specified in the type parameter. These values include information for method type, name, description, bracket, and delimiter. If brackets (parentheses, and so on) and delimiters are not required for your language, return an empty string to force the view to display nothing.
