)

Parameters

  • Line
    Type: System.Int32

    Required. A vsGoToLineOptions constant representing the line offset, starting at one, from the beginning of the buffer.

  • Column
    Type: System.Int32

    Required. Represents the virtual display column, starting at one, that is the new column location.

  • Extend
    Type: System.Boolean

    Optional. Determines whether the moved text is collapsed or not. The default is false.

Remarks

MoveToDisplayColumn moves the text selection to the specified line and column. If the column offset is in the middle of a tab character in the line, the active point is moved to the position immediately preceding the tab.

If the values of Line or Column are zero, then the active point remains at the current line number and/or column number.

Examples

Sub MoveToDisplayColumnExample()
   ' Before running this example, open a text document.
   Dim objSel As TextSelection = DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection
   ' Go to first line in document and select it.
   objSel.GotoLine(1, True)
   ' Move to various lines and offsets (character columns).
   objSel.MoveToAbsoluteOffset(3, True)
   objSel.MoveToDisplayColumn(3, True)
End Sub
