Remarks

This interface represents the marker itself. The marker is created by calling the CreateLineMarker method. The IVsTextLineMarker interface differs from IVsTextStreamMarker in that it uses two-dimensional [line, index] coordinates rather one-dimensional linear coordinates. However, IVsTextLineMarker and IVsTextStreamMarker are both implemented by the same underlying object and you can call the IUnknown::QueryInterface method between them.

A marker floats over the text region specified when it is created. If the text is deleted, the marker is deleted. If the text grows or shrinks, the marker grows or shrinks accordingly.

Notes to Implementers

Implemented by Visual Studio text markers.

Notes to Callers

Called by VSPackages (or any text buffer client).
