Hi all,

what is the best way to get notified when a document is opened for editing
is the IDE?
More precisely, I need a notification that a new IVsTextBuffer is created
inside the environment,
and this IVsTextBuffer is intended for in-memory editing.

I'm currrently going to use IVsRunningDocumentTableEvents.OnAfterFirstDocumentLock
callback for this
purpose, is it the right choice?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Dmitry Shaporenkov

I use IVsRunningDocTableEvents interface and
OnBeforeDocumentWindowShow() method in particular. fFirstShow flag is
the one you'd be interested in. It'd be set to true (1) whenever the
document is opened for the first time, or false (0) when user clicks on
document that's been previously opened.

Hope this helps.

Hello Sergey,

yes, you're right, thank you. However, I'm equally interested to get notified
when a document
is about to close, and OnAfterDocumentWindowHide does not work right for
this purpose, because
it seems to get called each time when a document window loses focus (and
there is no magic flag
fLastHide there :)).

Any ideas how to catch document closing?

Dmitry,

Sorry it took me so long to reply.

Not directly, I'm afraid. The only time I needed that is when a
document with my custom marker was about to close. Luckily
IVsTextMarkerClient.OnBeforeBufferClose() was readily available to me.

Hello Sergey,

thank you for your information. I'm now trying to use IVsRunningDocumentTableEvents.OnAfterLastDocumentUnlock,
let's see how it will work.

Hello sorry for the use of your thread:)

How can you subscribe to the IVsRunningDocTableEvents interface and
OnBeforeDocumentWindowShow() method. I have no idea how to get event
notification. Some sample code would be appreciated.

Thank you.
