Definition

Important

This API is not CLS-compliant.

Represents an IntelliSense completion list that is displayed in the current text view.

Remarks

Visual Studio manages the actual display of the completion list while this class manages what is displayed in the completion list and what happens when the user commits to an entry in that list.

Notes to Inheritors

This class implements everything needed to interact with the Declarations class and to provide suitable default behavior for each method so that there is typically no need for you to implement a derived version of the CompletionSet class.

Notes to Callers

An instance of this class is returned from the CreateCompletionSet() method in the Source class. The CreateCompletionSet() method is typically called from the Source class constructor. The CompletionSet object is then used in handling a completion operation that may optionally require displaying a completion list. Visual Studio interacts with the CompletionSet class through the IVsCompletionSet interface to implement the IntelliSense completion list.

Constructors

CompletionSet(ImageList, Source)

Initializes a new instance of the CompletionSet class.
