Namespace: EnvDTE
Assembly: EnvDTE (in EnvDTE.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Sub CharLeft ( _
Extend As Boolean, _
Count As Integer _
)
void CharLeft(
bool Extend,
int Count
)
void CharLeft(
[InAttribute] bool Extend,
[InAttribute] int Count
)
abstract CharLeft :
Extend:bool *
Count:int -> unit
function CharLeft(
Extend : boolean,
Count : int
)
Parameters
Extend
Type: System.BooleanOptional. Determines whether the moved text is collapsed or not. The default is False.
Count
Type: System.Int32Optional. Represents the number of characters to move to the left. The default is 1.
Remarks
If Extend is True, then the active end of the text selection is moved left Count characters. Otherwise, the text selection is collapsed and positioned Count characters to the left of the active end.
If the beginning of the document is encountered before Count characters, then the position is left at the beginning of the document. If the active end is at the beginning of a line, then CharLeft leaves it at the end of the previous line. That is, all newline sequences are treated as a single character.
If Count is negative, then CharLeft acts like the CharRight.
