EditPoint2.AbsoluteCharOffset Property

Gets the one-based character offset from the beginning of the document to the EditPoint2 object.

Namespace:  EnvDTE80
Assembly:  EnvDTE80 (in EnvDTE80.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
ReadOnly Property AbsoluteCharOffset As Integer

int AbsoluteCharOffset { get; }

property int AbsoluteCharOffset {
    int get ();
}

abstract AbsoluteCharOffset : int with get

function get AbsoluteCharOffset () : int

Property Value

Type: System.Int32
The one-based character offset from the beginning of the document to the EditPoint2 object.

Remarks

AbsoluteCharOffset returns the number of characters from the top of the document to the object, as compared to the LineCharOffset property, which determines the number of characters only from the beginning of the line that contains the object.

Warning

All newline characters or sequences count as a single character for the purposes of this property. For example, the newline denoted in Visual Basic by vbCrLf (carriage return + line feed) counts as a single character.

Character numbering begins at one.

Examples

Sub AbsoluteCharOffsetExample(ByVal dte As DTE2)

    ' Create a new text file.
    dte.ItemOperations.NewFile()

    ' Create an EditPoint at the start of the new document.
    Dim doc As TextDocument = _
        CType(dte.ActiveDocument.Object("TextDocument"), TextDocument)
    Dim point As EditPoint = doc.StartPoint.CreateEditPoint

    Dim i As Integer

    ' Insert 10 lines of text.
    For i = 1 To 10
        point.Insert("This is a test." & vbCrLf)
    Next

    ' Display EditPoint properties.
    MsgBox( _
        "AbsoluteCharOffset: " & point.AbsoluteCharOffset & vbCrLf & _
        "AtEndOfDocument: " & point.AtEndOfDocument & vbCrLf & _
        "AtEndOfLine: " & point.AtEndOfLine & vbCrLf & _
        "AtStartOfDocument: " & point.AtStartOfDocument & vbCrLf & _
        "AtStartOfLine: " & point.AtStartOfLine)

End Sub

public void AbsoluteCharOffsetExample(DTE2 dte)
{
    // Create a new text file.
    dte.ItemOperations.NewFile(@"General\Text File", "", 
        Constants.vsViewKindPrimary);

    // Create an EditPoint at the start of the new document.
    TextDocument doc = 
        (TextDocument)dte.ActiveDocument.Object("TextDocument");
    EditPoint point = doc.StartPoint.CreateEditPoint();

    // Insert 10 lines of text.
    for (int i = 1; i <= 10; ++i)
        point.Insert("This is a test.\n");

    // Display EditPoint properties.
    MessageBox.Show(
