TextSelection.MoveToLineAndOffset Method

Moves the active point to the given position.

Namespace:  EnvDTE
Assembly:  EnvDTE (in EnvDTE.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Sub MoveToLineAndOffset ( _
    Line As Integer, _
    Offset As Integer, _
    Extend As Boolean _
)

'Usage
Dim instance As TextSelection 
Dim Line As Integer 
Dim Offset As Integer 
Dim Extend As Boolean

instance.MoveToLineAndOffset(Line, Offset, _
    Extend)

void MoveToLineAndOffset(
    int Line,
    int Offset,
    bool Extend
)

void MoveToLineAndOffset(
    [InAttribute] int Line, 
    [InAttribute] int Offset, 
    [InAttribute] bool Extend
)

function MoveToLineAndOffset(
    Line : int, 
    Offset : int, 
    Extend : boolean
)

Parameters

• Line
  Type: System.Int32

  Required. The line number to move to, beginning at one. Line may also be one of the constants from vsGoToLineOptions.

• Offset
  Type: System.Int32

  Required. The character index position in the line, starting at one.

• Extend
  Type: System.Boolean

  Optional. Default = false. A Boolean value to extend the current selection. If Extend is true, then the active end of the selection moves to the location, while the anchor end remains where it is. Otherwise, both ends are moved to the specified location. This argument applies only to the TextSelection object.

Remarks

If the value of Offset is beyond the last character of the line, the document moves to the end of the line.

Examples

Sub MoveToLineAndOffsetExample()
    ' Before running this example, open a text document.
    Dim objSel As TextSelection = DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection

    ' Move to the beginning of the document so we can iterate over the 
    ' whole thing.
    objSel.StartOfDocument()
    While objSel.FindPattern("#if _DEBUG")
        ' If we found the beginning of a debug-only section, save the 
        ' position.
        Dim lStartLine As Long = objSel.TopPoint.Line
        Dim lStartColumn As Long = objSel.TopPoint.LineCharOffset

        ' Look for the end.
        If objSel.FindPattern("#endif") Then
            ' Select the entire section and outline it.
            objSel.SwapAnchor()
            objSel.MoveToLineAndOffset(lStartLine, lStartColumn, True)
            objSel.OutlineSection()
            objSel.LineDown()
        End If
    End While
End Sub
