Interface IControlPreviewType

Interface implemented by preview types that provide controls, which can be shown in the host application for viewing the preview content.

Inherited Members

public interface IControlPreviewType : IPreviewType
Remarks

Two types of controls can be provided: single file and source and target (typically side-by-side). A control preview can provide either or both of these.

Host applications can check these preview control ids to determine which preview buttons/tabs should be available in the UI for a specific preview type.
