Property Value

Type: EnvDTE::TextRanges^

A TextRanges collection.

For each line in the text selection, regardless of its current mode, a TextRange object represents the virtual portion of the line in the selection. When the selection mode is Stream, the TextRange objects represent only the text that is in the selection. If some lines are longer than others, you get ranges only for lines that actually contain text.

Each time the TextRanges collection is retrieved from the text selection, the prior contents are lost.

   MsgBox("Startpoint line: " & (objSel.TextRanges.Item(1).StartPoint.Line) & vbCr & "Endpoint line: " & (objSel.TextRanges.Item(1).EndPoint.Line))
