Namespace:  EnvDTE
Assembly:  EnvDTE (in EnvDTE.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Sub DeleteWhitespace ( _
    Direction As vsWhitespaceOptions _
)

void DeleteWhitespace(
    vsWhitespaceOptions Direction
)

void DeleteWhitespace(
    [InAttribute] vsWhitespaceOptions Direction
)

abstract DeleteWhitespace : 
        Direction:vsWhitespaceOptions -> unit

function DeleteWhitespace(
    Direction : vsWhitespaceOptions
)

Parameters

• Direction
  Type: EnvDTE.vsWhitespaceOptions

  Optional. A vsWhitespaceOptions constant that determines how and where to remove empty spaces.

Remarks

DeleteWhitespace removes white (empty) space around the TextSelection without first copying the text to the clipboard. If Direction is vsWhitespaceOptionsHorizontal, then DeleteWhitespace deletes spaces and tab characters on both sides of the edit point to the beginning and end of the edit point's line, or until a non-white-space character is encountered. If Direction is vsWhitespaceOptionsVertical, then DeleteWhitespace deletes blank lines on both sides of the edit point to the beginning and end of the document, or until a nonblank line is encountered. If Direction is vsWhitespaceOptionsVertical, and the current line is not blank, then this method does nothing.
