IVsEditorAdaptersFactoryService Interface

Provides helper methods to switch between interfaces for the earlier Visual Studio editor (for example, IVsTextView) and the equivalent interfaces for the current Visual Studio editor (for example, ITextView). IVsEditorAdaptersFactoryService also has methods to create adapters for IVsTextBuffer, IVsTextView, and IVsCodeWindow.

These adapters provide an implementation of earlier interfaces that is based on the current interfaces (ITextBuffer and ITextView). You can use one of these adapters wherever an earlier type is required.

Namespace:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.Editor
Assembly:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.Editor (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Editor.dll)

The IVsEditorAdaptersFactoryService type exposes the following members.

Methods

	Name	Description
	CreateVsCodeWindowAdapter	Creates an IVsCodeWindow.
	CreateVsTextBufferAdapter(IServiceProvider)	Creates an IVsTextBuffer.
	CreateVsTextBufferAdapter(IServiceProvider, IContentType)	Creates an IVsTextBuffer with the specified IContentType.
	CreateVsTextBufferAdapterForSecondaryBuffer	Creates an IVsTextBuffer for the secondary buffer (used in IVsTextBufferCoordinator) for the specified ITextBuffer.
	CreateVsTextBufferCoordinatorAdapter	Creates an IVsTextBufferCoordinator.
	CreateVsTextViewAdapter(IServiceProvider)	Creates an IVsTextView.
	CreateVsTextViewAdapter(IServiceProvider, ITextViewRoleSet)	Creates an IVsTextView that has a specified set of text view roles.
	GetBufferAdapter	Gets the text buffer adapter for this text buffer (if it exists).
	GetDataBuffer	Gets the data buffer of a text buffer adapter. This is the top buffer of the data model buffer graph.
	GetDocumentBuffer	Gets the document buffer of an IVsTextBuffer adapter. This is the bottom buffer of the data model buffer graph.
	GetViewAdapter	Gets the IVsTextView adapter for this text view (if it exists).
	GetWpfTextView	Gets the Window Presentation Foundation (WPF) text view of a text view adapter.

The following code shows how to get this service from the SComponentModel service to create a code window.

using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextManager.Interop;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.Editor;
using System.ComponentModel.Composition;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.ComponentModelHost;

public sealed class MyPackage : Package
{
    ...
    private IServiceProvider serviceProvider;
    ...
    IVSCodeWindow CreateCodeWindow()
    {
        IVsEditorAdaptersFactoryService editorAdapterService;
        IComponentModel componentModel = (IComponentModel) GetService(typeof(SComponentModel));
        editorAdapterService = componentModel.GetService<IVsEditorAdaptersFactoryService>();
        IVsTextBuffer textBuffer = adaptersFactory.CreateVsTextBufferAdapter(serviceProvider);
        textBuffer.InitializeContent("text", 4); 
        IVsCodeWindow codeWindow = adaptersFactory.CreateVsCodeWindowAdapter(serviceProvider);
        codeWindow.SetBuffer(textBuffer as IVsTextLines);

        return codeWindow;
    }
}
