ProvideEditorExtensionAttribute.EditorFactoryNotify Property

Determines whether or not the extension should be registered with a EditorFactoryNotify registry value, which associates a file extension with a specific editor factory.

Namespace:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell
Assembly:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.10.0 (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.10.0.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Property EditorFactoryNotify As Boolean
public bool EditorFactoryNotify { get; set; }
public:
property bool EditorFactoryNotify {
    bool get ();
    void set (bool value);
}
member EditorFactoryNotify : bool with get, set
function get EditorFactoryNotify () : boolean
function set EditorFactoryNotify (value : boolean)

Property Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the EditorFactoryNotify registry value should be created, otherwise false (the default).

Remarks

If this property is set to true, the Projects\<ProjectGUID>\Extensions\<ExtensionString>\EditorFactoryNotify value points to the editor factory that should handle the file. The constructor ProvideEditorExtensionAttribute sets the value to false by default.

Examples

The following example associates the .myext file extension with the GUID of the Test Editor, so that the project system opens the file with that editor:

[ProvideEditorExtensionAttribute(typeof(TestEditorFactory), ".myext", 32,
                    ProjectGuid = "{A2FE74E1-B743-11d0-AE1A-00A0C90FFFC3}",
                    NameResourceID = 105,
                    DefaultName = "Test Editor",
                    EditorFactoryNotify = true)]]
