Examples
Sub VirtualPointExample()
' Before running this example, open a text document.
Dim objSel As TextSelection = DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection
Dim objActive As VirtualPoint = objSel.ActivePoint
' Collapse the selection to the beginning of the line.
objSel.StartOfLine()
' objActive is "live", tied to the position of the actual selection,
' so it will reflect the new position.
Dim iCol As Long = objActive.DisplayColumn
' Move the selection to the end of the line.
objSel.EndOfLine()
MsgBox("The length of the insertion point line is " & (objActive.DisplayColumn - iCol) & " display characters.")
