Remarks

Implement this interface to provide a custom marker type. You must also implement IVsMergeableUIItem at the same time. In some cases, an exception can occur when a class implements IVsPackageDefinedTextMarkerType without also implementing IVsMergeableUIItem.

This interface allows you to specify marker behavior for a custom marker type. You can still change certain marker attributes using the IVsTextMarker interface (SetBehavior), SetVisualStyle, and so on) as well as by supplying an IVsTextMarkerClient when you create a marker.

Implement IVsPackageDefinedTextMarkerType to describe how a given marker behaves and appears to the user. The environment calls the methods of IVsPackageDefinedTextMarkerType when the user starts the IDE for the first time, then in the Tools / Options / Environment / Fonts and Colors dialog clicks the Use Defaults button.
