public virtual int CompareItems(
    string bstrSoFar,
    string bstrOther,
    int lCharactersToCompare,
    out int plResult

public:

abstract CompareItems : 
        bstrSoFar:string * 
        bstrOther:string * 
        lCharactersToCompare:int * 
        plResult:int byref -> int

public function CompareItems(
    bstrSoFar : String, 
    bstrOther : String, 
    lCharactersToCompare : int, 
    plResult : int
) : int

Parameters

bstrSoFar
Type: String

The first string to compare.

bstrOther
Type: String

The second string to compare.

lCharactersToCompare
Type: Int32

The number of characters to compare.

plResult
Type: Int32%

[out] The result of the comparison.

Return Value

Type: Int32
If the method is successful, returns S_OK; otherwise, returns an error code (in which case the default comparison is used).

Implements

IVsCompletionSetEx.CompareItems(String, String, Int32, Int32%)

Remarks

The plResult should be returned as follows: if bstrSoFar comes before bstrOther, plResult < 0. If bstrSoFar is equivalent to bstrOther, plResult is 0. If bstrSoFar comes after bstrOther, plResult > 0.

This method is the implementation of the CompareItems method of the IVsCompletionSetEx interface.

By default this method is not implemented and returns plResult as 0 and E_NOTIMPL.
