abstract member GetSelection : int * int * int * int -> int

Public Function GetSelection (ByRef piAnchorLine As Integer, ByRef piAnchorCol As Integer, ByRef piEndLine As Integer, ByRef piEndCol As Integer) As Integer

Parameters

piAnchorLine: Int32

[out] Anchor line position for the selection. Based on user selection, this value is not necessarily the upper line in the selection.

piAnchorCol: Int32

[out] Anchor column position for the selection. Based on user selection, this value is not necessarily the upper, left column position in the selection. Viewcol coordinates may include virtual space.

piEndLine: Int32

[out] End line position for the selection. Based on user selection, this value is not necessarily the lower line in the selection.

piEndCol: Int32

[out] End column position for the selection. Based on user selection, this value is not necessarily the lower, right column position in the selection. Viewcol coordinates may include virtual space.

Returns

Int32

If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an error code.

Remarks

COM Signature

From textmgr.idl:

HRESULT IVsTextView::GetSelection(  
   [out] long *piAnchorLine,  
   [out] ViewCol *piAnchorCol,  
   [out] long *piEndLine,  
   [out] ViewCol *piEndCol  
);

The parameters for GetSelection can be null if they are not needed to determine the selection. To return this information in a TextSpan structure, call the GetSelectionSpan method.

Note

The anchor position is not always the left or upper position in the text view. For example, in a span of 10 lines, the user may anchor their selection in line 10 and end their selection in line 1, thus reversing the expected anchor/line order.
