Interface ISourcePresentation

All Known Subinterfaces:
IDebugModelPresentation, IDebugModelPresentationExtension, IInstructionPointerPresentation, IMemoryBlockTablePresentation
public interface ISourcePresentation
A source presentation is used to resolve an editor in which to display a debug model element, breakpoint, or source element. By default, a debug model presentation (which implements this interface) is used to resolve editors when performing source lookup. However, a source locator may override default editor resolution by implementing this interface.

Source lookup consists of the following steps:

  1. Locating a source element - the source locator associated with a launch is queried for the source element associated with a stack frame.
  2. Resolving an editor in which to display a source element - by default, the debug model presentation associated with the debug model being debugged is queried for an editor input and editor id in which to display a source element. However, clients may override editor resolution by specifying a source locator that is an instance of ISourcePresentation. When a source presentation is specified as a source locator, the source presentation is used to resolve an editor, rather than the default debug model presentation.

Clients may implement this interface as part of an IDebugModelPresentation or as an optional extension to an ISourceLocator.
