ITextCaret.MoveTo Method (SnapshotPoint, PositionAffinity, Boolean)

Moves the caret to the given index in the underlying ITextBuffer.

Namespace:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.Text.Editor
Assembly:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.Text.UI (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Text.UI.dll)

Syntax

'Déclaration
Function MoveTo ( _
    bufferPosition As SnapshotPoint, _
    caretAffinity As PositionAffinity, _
    captureHorizontalPosition As Boolean _
) As CaretPosition
CaretPosition MoveTo(
    SnapshotPoint bufferPosition,
    PositionAffinity caretAffinity,
    bool captureHorizontalPosition
)
CaretPosition MoveTo(
    SnapshotPoint bufferPosition, 
    PositionAffinity caretAffinity, 
    bool captureHorizontalPosition
)
abstract MoveTo : 
        bufferPosition:SnapshotPoint * 
        caretAffinity:PositionAffinity * 
        captureHorizontalPosition:bool -> CaretPosition 
function MoveTo(
    bufferPosition : SnapshotPoint, 
    caretAffinity : PositionAffinity, 
    captureHorizontalPosition : boolean
) : CaretPosition

Parameters

  • captureHorizontalPosition
    Type: System.Boolean
    true if the caret should capture its horizontal position for subsequent moves up or down, false if the caret should retain its previously-captured horizontal position.

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Text.Editor.CaretPosition
A CaretPosition that contains the valid values of the caret position after the move has occurred.

Remarks

This method handles UTF-16 surrogate pairs and combining character sequences.

For example, if the text buffer consists of a high surrogate character at index 0 and a low surrogate character at index 1, and bufferPosition is 1 and caretAffinity is Successor, the actual valid caret index is 0 (since the high surrogate and low surrogate characters form one text element).

If caretAffinity is Predecessor, the actual valid caret index is 2.
