'Declaration
Function TryToShow ( _
    How As vsPaneShowHow, _
    PointOrCount As Object _
) As Boolean

bool TryToShow(
    vsPaneShowHow How,
    Object PointOrCount
)

bool TryToShow(
    [InAttribute] vsPaneShowHow How, 
    [InAttribute] Object^ PointOrCount
)

abstract TryToShow : 
        How:vsPaneShowHow * 
        PointOrCount:Object -> bool 

function TryToShow(
    How : vsPaneShowHow, 
    PointOrCount : Object
) : boolean

Parameters

• How
  Type: EnvDTE.vsPaneShowHow
  Optional. A vsPaneShowHow constant that determines how the code is displayed.

• PointOrCount
  Type: System.Object
  Optional. The endpoint of the selected range of text to be displayed. It can be either a TextPoint or an integer.

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
A Boolean value indicating true if the span of text fits within the current code editor, false if not.

Remarks

TryToShow adjusts the location of the buffer in the code view so that the indicated range of text is displayed in the code editor, if possible. TryToShow is similar to the TextPane object's Activate method, except that it attempts to display the window and the specified range of text.
