Parameters

• Where
  Type: EnvDTE.vsStartOfLineOptions
  Optional. A vsStartOfLineOptions constant representing where the line starts.

• Extend
  Type: System.Boolean
  Optional. Determines whether the moved text is collapsed or not. The default is false.

Remarks

If Extend is True, then only the active end of the selected text is moved to the start of the document. Otherwise, the selected text is collapsed and moved.

Examples

Sub StartOfLineExample()
   ' 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.")
End Sub
