Examples

Sub EditPointExample()  
  'Before running this example, open a text document.  
  Dim objTD As TextDocument  
  Dim objEP As EditPoint  

  objTD = DTE.ActiveDocument.Object("TextDocument")  
  objEP = objTD.StartPoint.CreateEditPoint  
  objEP.Insert "Hello"  
End Sub  

Remarks

EditPoint2 objects are similar to TextSelection objects, except that they operate on data in the text buffer rather than on text displayed in a code editor. The difference is that text in the buffer is not affected by global editor states, such as word wrapping and virtual spaces.

Any operation that attempts to modify a text document fails if it affects any characters that are contained in a read-only block, or if the document itself is read-only.

Properties

AbsoluteCharOffset	Gets the one-based character offset from the beginning of the document to the EditPoint2 object.
AtEndOfDocument	Gets a value indicating whether or not the object is at the end of the document.
AtEndOfLine	Gets a value indicating whether or not the object is at the end of a line.
AtStartOfDocument	Gets a value indicating whether or not the object is at the beginning of the document.
AtStartOfLine	Gets a value indicating whether or not the EditPoint object is at the beginning of a line.
DisplayColumn	Gets the number of the currently displayed column containing the EditPoint object.
DTE	Returns the top-level extensibility object.
Line	Gets the line number of the EditPoint object.
LineCharOffset	Gets the character offset of the EditPoint object.
LineLength	Gets the number of characters in a line containing the EditPoint object, excluding the new line character.
Parent	Gets the immediate parent object of the EditPoint object.

Methods

ChangeCase(Object, vsCaseOptions)	Changes the case of the selected text.
CharLeft(Int32)	Moves the edit point the specified number of characters to the left.
CharRight(Int32)	Moves the edit point the specified number of characters to the right.
ClearBookmark()	Clears all unnamed bookmarks in the current text buffer line.
Copy(Object, Boolean)	Copies the specified range of text to the clipboard.
CreateEditPoint()	Creates and returns an EditPoint object at the location of the calling object.
Cut(Object, Boolean)	Copies the specified range of text to the clipboard and deletes it from the document.
Delete(Object)	Deletes the specified range of text.
DeleteWhitespace(vsWhitespaceOptions)	Deletes the empty characters (white space) horizontally or vertically around the current location in the text buffer.
EndOfDocument()	Moves the edit point to the end of the document.
EndOfLine()	Moves the edit point to the end of the current line in the buffer.
EqualTo(TextPoint)	Returns a value indicating whether the value of the given point object's AbsoluteCharOffset is equal to that of the calling EditPoint object.
FindPattern(String, Int32, EditPoint, TextRanges)	Finds a given matching pattern in the selected text.
get_CodeElement(vsCMElement)
GetLines(Int32, Int32)	Returns a string representing the text between two given lines.
GetText(Object)	Returns the text between the current location and the specified location in the buffer.
