Examples

Sub TextPaneExample(ByVal dte As EnvDTE.DTE)
    Dim objTW As TextWindow
    Dim objPane As TextPane
    Dim objStart As TextPoint

    objTW = dte.ActiveWindow.Object
    objPane = objTW.ActivePane
    MsgBox("The active pane is " & Str(objPane.Height) & " lines high _
    and " & Str(objPane.Width) & " columns wide.")
    objStart = objPane.StartPoint
    MsgBox("It begins at line " & Str(objStart.Line) & ", column " & _
    Str(objStart.LineCharOffset) & ".")
End Sub

public void TextPaneExample(_DTE dte)
{
    TextWindow tw;
    TextPane tpn;
    TextPoint tpt;

    tw = (TextWindow)dte.ActiveWindow.Object;
    tpn = tw.ActivePane;
    MessageBox.Show ("The active pane is " + tpn.Height.ToString () + " 
    lines high and " + tpn.Width.ToString () + " columns wide.");
    tpt = tpn.StartPoint;
    MessageBox.Show ("It begins at line " + tpt.Line.ToString () + ", 
    column " + tpt.LineCharOffset.ToString () + ".");
