Parameters

  • line

    [in] The new line the caret is on.

  • col
    Type: System.Int32

    [in] the new column the caret is on.

Remarks

If you want to do anything special when the caret is moved, you must derive a class from the LanguageService class and implement this method. Be sure to call the base class version of this method either before or after your specific needs.

The base method calls the internal TypeAndMemberDropdownBars.SynchronizeDropdowns method if a drop-down bar has been added to the text view. TypeAndMemberDropdownBars.SynchronizeDropdowns calls the virtual method, OnSynchronizeDropdowns, and then refreshes the combo-boxes.
