abstract CopyLineText : 
        iStartLine:int * 
        iStartIndex:int * 
        iEndLine:int * 
        iEndIndex:int *

        pcchBuf:int byref -> int

function CopyLineText(
    iStartLine : int, 
    iStartIndex : int, 
    iEndLine : int, 
    iEndIndex : int, 
    pszBuf : IntPtr, 
    pcchBuf : int
) : int

Parameters

iStartLine
Type: System.Int32

[in] Starting line

iStartIndex
Type: System.Int32

[in] Starting character index within the line (must be <= length of line)

iEndLine
Type: System.Int32

[in] Ending line

iEndIndex
Type: System.Int32

[in] Ending character index within the line (must be <= length of line)

pszBuf
Type: System.IntPtr

[in] Text to insert, if any

pcchBuf
Type: System.Int32%

[in, out] On input, the number of characters to copy. On output, the required size of the buffer. Count is UNICODE characters, not bytes.

Return Value

Type: System.Int32
If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an error code.

Remarks

COM Signature

From textmgr.idl:

HRESULT IVsTextLayer::CopyLineText(
   [in] long iStartLine,
   [in] CharIndex iStartIndex,
   [in] long iEndLine,
   [in] CharIndex iEndIndex,
   [in] LPWSTR pszBuf,
   [in, out] long * pcchBuf
);

CopyLineText will copy up to cchBuf characters. If the buffer isn't big enough, CopyLineText returns BUFFER_E_DEST_TOO_SMALL and sets * to the required size.

Note

pcchBuf contains a count of UNICODE CHARACTERS, not BYTES.

To get the required size, you can set pszBuf to nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
