C++

JScript

int GetLineIndexOfPosition(
	int iPosition,
	out int piLine,
	out int piColumn
)

Parameters

iPosition: Type: Int32
[in] Position number of the desired line.

piLine: Type: Int32
[out] Pointer to the line number.

Remarks

COM Signature

From textmgr.idl:

C++

HRESULT IVsTextBuffer::GetLineIndexOfPosition(
   [in] long iPosition,
   [out] long *piLine,
   [out] CharIndex *piColumn
);

This method might require considerable resources, depending upon the underlying implementation of the buffer. That is, it might be very difficult to calculate the size of the buffer if it is a virtual-line-oriented implementation as in Visual Basic.
