Public Property ColorState As IVsTextColorState

Property Value

The IVsTextColorState interface that is obtained from the IVsTextLines object passed to the constructor.

Remarks

The IVsTextColorState interface is used by the colorizer to remember the parse state at the end of every line. This allows parsing to continue from any line in the source.

Note

The colorizer parser is used not only for syntax highlighting but for retrieving information about tokens on a line. This is typically done through a call to the GetLineInfo method to tokenize the line; then the tokens are accessed one by one.
