Parameters
- pTextLines
Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextManager.Interop.IVsTextLines
[in] An IVsTextLines object containing the text to examine.
- iCurrentLine
Type: System.Int32
[in] Current line position of the cursor.
- iCurrentChar
Type: System.Int32
[in] Current character position of the cursor within the line.
- ptsBlockSpan
Type: array<Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextManager.Interop.TextSpan[]
[out] Specifies a span of text representing the current language block. For more information, see TextSpan.
- pbstrDescription
Type: System.String%
[out] Returns a string containing the description of the language block.
- pfBlockAvailable
Type: System.Int32%
[out, retval] Returns non-zero if the block is available. Otherwise, returns zero if the current cursor position does not coincide with a language block.
Return Value
Type: System.Int32
If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an error code.
Remarks
COM Signature
From textmgr.idl:
HRESULT IVsLanguageBlock::GetCurrentBlock(
[in] IVsTextLines * pTextLines,
[in] LONG iCurrentLine,
[in] LONG iCurrentChar,
[out] TextSpan * ptsBlockSpan,
[out] BSTR * pbstrDescription
);
Given the current position, this method returns a TextSpan structure that defines the enclosing or nearby block of text and a short description of the block.
This method is typically called from the view to populate the Find dialog box's "Search only: <current procedure>" option where <current procedure> is the pbstrDescription text. The description should be short due to limited space on the Find dialog box.
The pfBlockAvailable parameter must be set to non-zero when a block is available and zero when the position is outside any blocks. The values of the ptsBlockSpan and pbstrDescription parameters may be a null value indicating those parameters are not wanted by the caller.
