TextSelection.MoveToPoint(TextPoint, Boolean) Method

Definition

Moves the active point to the given position.

void MoveToPoint(EnvDTE::TextPoint const & Point, bool Extend = false);
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DispId(38)]
public void MoveToPoint (EnvDTE.TextPoint Point, bool Extend = false);
[<System.Runtime.InteropServices.DispId(38)>]
abstract member MoveToPoint : EnvDTE.TextPoint * bool -> unit
Public Sub MoveToPoint (Point As TextPoint, Optional Extend As Boolean = false)

Parameters

Point
TextPoint

Required. The location in which to move the character.

Extend
Boolean

Optional. Default = false. Determines whether to extend the current selection. If Extend is true, then the active end of the selection moves to the location, while the anchor end remains where it is. Otherwise, both ends are moved to the specified location. This argument applies only to the TextSelection object.
