A VirtualPoint object.

Examples

Sub AnchorPointExample()  
    ' Before running this example, open a text document.  
    Dim objSel As TextSelection = DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection  
    Dim objAnchor As VirtualPoint = objSel.AnchorPoint  
    ' objAnchor is "live", tied to the position of the actual selection,   
    ' so it will reflect any changes. iCol and iRow are created here to   
    ' save a "snapshot" of the anchor point's position at this time.  
    Dim iCol As Long = objAnchor.DisplayColumn  
    Dim iRow As Long = objAnchor.Line  
    ' As the selection is extended, the active point moves but the anchor   
    ' point remains in place.  
    objSel.StartOfDocument(True)  
    objSel.EndOfDocument(True)  

    If (iCol = objAnchor.DisplayColumn And iRow = objAnchor.Line) Then  
        MsgBox("The anchor point has remained in place at row " & iRow & ", display column " & iCol)  
    End If  
End Sub

Remarks

Although TextPoint objects indicate the location of the text selection in the Editor window, they do not mark the location in the buffer. Virtual space — the area beyond the end of the line — is also tracked only in the Editor window. Consequently, when you use an EditPoint in the text buffer to modify text, what happens to the text selection is not defined. For example a command might start with text selection, get edit points, and then change the buffer. To guarantee the text selection is in a certain location, you must explicitly place the text selection in that location at the end of your command.
