ITextStoreACP::InsertTextAtSelection method (textstor.h)

The ITextStoreACP::InsertTextAtSelection method inserts text at the insertion point or selection. A caller must have a read/write lock on the document before inserting text.

Syntax

HRESULT InsertTextAtSelection(
  [in]  DWORD         dwFlags,
  [in]  const WCHAR   *pchText,
  [in]  ULONG         cch,
  [out] LONG          *pacpStart,
  [out] LONG          *pacpEnd,
  [out] TS_TEXTCHANGE *pChange
);

Parameters

[in] dwFlags

Specifies whether the pacpStart and pacpEnd parameters and the TS_TEXTCHANGE structure contain the results of the text insertion.

The TF_IAS_NOQUERY and TF_IAS_QUERYONLY flags cannot be combined.

Value	Meaning
0	Text insertion will occur, and the pacpStart and pacpEnd parameters will contain the results of the text insertion. The TS_TEXTCHANGE structure must be filled with this flag.
TF_IAS_NOQUERY	Text is inserted, the values of the pacpStart and pacpEnd parameters can be NULL, and the TS_TEXTCHANGE structure must be filled. Use this flag to view the results of the text insertion.
TF_IAS_QUERYONLY	Text is not inserted, and the values for the pacpStart and pacpEnd parameters contain the results of the text insertion. The values of these parameters depend on how the application implements text insertion into a document. For more information, see the Remarks section. Use this flag to view the results of the text insertion without actually inserting the text. It is not required that you fill the TS_TEXTCHANGE structure if you use this flag.

[in] pchText

Pointer to the string to insert in the document. The string can be NULL terminated.

[in] cch

Specifies the text length.

[out] pacpStart

Pointer to the starting application character position where the text insertion occurs.

[out] pacpEnd

Pointer to the ending application character position where the text insertion occurs. This parameter value is the same as the value of the pacpStart parameter for an insertion point.

[out] pChange

Pointer to a TS_TEXTCHANGE structure with the following members.

Value	Meaning
acpStart	The starting application character position before the text is inserted into the document.
acpOldEnd	The ending application character position before the text is inserted into the document. This value is the same as acpStart for an insertion point. If this value is different from acpStart, then text was selected prior to the text insertion.
acpNewEnd	The end position after the text insertion occurred.

Return value

This method can return one of these values.

Value	Description
S_OK	The method was successful.
TS_E_NOLOCK	The caller does not have a lock on the document.
E_INVALIDARG	The pchText parameter is invalid.

Remarks

The values of the pacpStart and the pacpEnd parameters depend upon how the client application inserts text into a document. For example, if the application sets the cursor at the start of the inserted text after text insertion, then the value for the pacpStart and pacpEnd parameters is the same as the acpStart member of the TS_TEXTCHANGE structure.

Applications should not call the ITextStoreACPSink::OnTextChange method in response to this method.
