Parameters

textSoFar
Type: String

[in] The length of the text typed by the user.

index
Type: Int32%

[out] Returns the index of the item in the Declarations object that best matches the typed text.

flags
Type: UInt32%

[out] Returns a set of flags from the UpdateCompletionFlags enumeration.

Return Value

Type: Int32
If successful, returns S_OK; otherwise, returns an error code.

Implements

IVsCompletionSet.GetBestMatch(String, Int32, Int32%, UInt32%)

Remarks

This method is an implementation of the GetBestMatch method on the IVsCompletionSet interface.

If textSoFar is not empty, the base method calls the GetBestMatch method on the Declarations object that was passed to the Init method; otherwise, if there is only one item in the Declarations list then that entry is used. If a match is found, the flags parameter is set to GBM_SELECT and if the match is unique (that is, there is only match in the list) then the flag GBM_UNIQUE is added to the flags parameter. The base method always returns a success code of S_OK.
