  • pdwExtnIndex
    Type: System.UInt32%

Remarks

COM Signature

From textmgr.idl:

HRESULT IVsFormatFilterProvider::CurFileExtensionFormat(
   [in]BSTR bstrFileName,
   [out] DWORD *pdwExtnIndex
);

The index returned in pdwExtnIndex is determined by the place in the FormatFilterList, which is the pbstrFilterList parameter of GetFormatFilterList of the filter matching the extension of the file inbstrFileName. For example, if ".*" was passed into the default filter (see GetFormatFilterList), 0 would be stored in pdwExtnIndex. Likewise a 1 would be stored for a ".txt" passed in. You should only be concerned with your file extensions and not the All Files or Text Files. If the file extension in bstrFileName doesn't match one that you support, return E_FAIL.
