Namespace:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextManager.Interop
Assembly:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextManager.Interop (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextManager.Interop.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Structure TextLineChange
public struct TextLineChange
public value class TextLineChange
[<Sealed>]
type TextLineChange =  struct end
JScript supports the use of structures, but not the declaration of new ones.

The TextLineChange type exposes the following members.

Remarks

The TextLineChange structure completely describes a text change. For example, for a Replace operation, the structure defines two spans, as follows:

  • From iStartLine/iStartIndex to iNewEndLine/iNewEndIndex. This span indicates the extent of the newly inserted text in terms of the buffer's current state.

  • From iStartLine/iStartIndex to iOldEndLine/iOldEndIndex. This span describes the extent of the text that was deleted, in terms of the buffer's state before the change.

Therefore, the structure contains information about the shape of the region before and after the change. The TextLineChange structure does not contain the old text that was deleted.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
