IWpfTextViewLineCollection Interface

Allows the ITextView to access the view's collection of ITextViewLine objects. You can use the TextViewLines property to get an instance of the ITextViewLineCollection interface.

The IWpfTextViewLineCollection type exposes the following members.

Properties

	Name	Description
	Count	Gets the number of elements contained in the ICollection. (Inherited from ICollection<ITextViewLine>.)
	FirstVisibleLine	Gets the first line that is not completely hidden.
	FormattedSpan	Gets the span of text contained in this ITextViewLine collection. (Inherited from ITextViewLineCollection.)
	IsReadOnly	Gets a value indicating whether the ICollection is read-only. (Inherited from ICollection<ITextViewLine>.)
	IsValid	Determines whether this ITextViewLineCollection object is still valid. (Inherited from ITextViewLineCollection.)
	Item	Get the IWpfTextViewLine at index.
	LastVisibleLine	Gets the last line that is not completely hidden.
	WpfTextViewLines	Gets a collection of IWpfTextViewLine objects.

Methods

	Name	Description
	Add	Adds an item to the ICollection. (Inherited from ICollection<ITextViewLine>.)
	Clear	Removes all items from the ICollection. (Inherited from ICollection<ITextViewLine>.)
	Contains	Determines whether the ICollection contains a specific value. (Inherited from ICollection<ITextViewLine>.)

	CopyTo	Copies the elements of the ICollection to an Array, starting at a particular Array index. (Inherited from ICollection<ITextViewLine>.)
	GetCharacterBounds	Gets the text bounds of the specified text buffer position. (Inherited from ITextViewLineCollection.)
	GetEnumerator	Returns an enumerator that iterates through the collection. (Inherited from IEnumerable<ITextViewLine>.)
	GetIndexOfTextLine	Gets the index in the text lines of the given text view line. (Inherited from ITextViewLineCollection.)
	GetLineMarkerGeometry(SnapshotSpan)	Gets the text marker geometry for the specified range of text in the buffer by using a polygonal approximation algorithm to calculate the outline path of the text regions.
	GetLineMarkerGeometry(SnapshotSpan, Boolean, Thickness)	Gets the text marker geometry for the specified range of text in the buffer by using a polygonal approximation algorithm to calculate the outline path of the text regions.
	GetMarkerGeometry(SnapshotSpan)	Creates a marker geometry for the specified snapshot span.
	GetMarkerGeometry(SnapshotSpan, Boolean, Thickness)	Creates a marker geometry for the specified snapshot span.

	GetTextMarkerGeometry(SnapshotSpan, Boolean, Thickness)	Gets the text marker geometry for the specified range of text in the buffer by using a polygonal approximation algorithm to calculate the outline path of the text regions.
	GetTextViewLineContainingBufferPosition	Gets the IWpfTextViewLine that contains the specified text buffer position.
	GetTextViewLineContainingYCoordinate	Gets the ITextViewLine that contains the specified y-coordinate. (Inherited from ITextViewLineCollection.)
	GetTextViewLinesIntersectingSpan	Gets all of the ITextViewLine objects that intersect bufferSpan. (Inherited from ITextViewLineCollection.)
	IndexOf	Determines the index of a specific item in the IList. (Inherited from IList<ITextViewLine>.)
	Insert	Inserts an item to the IList at the specified index. (Inherited from IList<ITextViewLine>.)
	IntersectsBufferSpan	Determines whether the specified buffer span intersects any of the ITextViewLine objects in the collection. (Inherited from ITextViewLineCollection.)
	Remove	Removes the first occurrence of a specific object from the ICollection. (Inherited from ICollection<ITextViewLine>.)
	RemoveAt	Removes the IList item at the specified index. (Inherited from IList<ITextViewLine>.)

Remarks

The ITextView disposes its ITextViewLineCollection and all the ITextViewLine objects it contains every time it generates a new layout.

Most properties and parameters that are doubles correspond to coordinates or distances in the text rendering coordinate system. In this coordinate system, x = 0.0 corresponds to the left edge of the drawing surface onto which text is rendered (x = view.ViewportLeft corresponds to the left edge of the viewport), and y = view.ViewportTop corresponds to the top edge of the viewport. The x-coordinate increases from left to right, and the y-coordinate increases from top to bottom. The horizontal and vertical axes of the view behave differently. When the text in the view is formatted, only the visible lines are formatted. As a result, a viewport cannot be scrolled horizontally and vertically in the same way .A viewport is scrolled horizontally by changing the left coordinate of the viewport so that it moves with respect to the drawing surface. A view can be scrolled vertically only by performing a new layout. Doing a layout in the view may cause the view.ViewportTop property to change. For example, scrolling down one line will not translate any of the visible lines.

Instead it will simply change the ViewportTop property (causing the lines to move on the screen even though their y-coordinates have not changed).Distances in the text rendering coordinate system correspond to logical pixels. If the text rendering surface is displayed without any scaling transform, then 1 unit in the text rendering coordinate system corresponds to one pixel on the display.
