_EdSetPos( ) API Library Routine
Moves the insertion point to the specified offset position in the file in the specified editing window, unselecting any selected text.
void _EdSetPos(WHANDLE wh, EDPOS thePos)
WHANDLE wh; /* Handle of editing window. */
EDPOS thePos; /* Specified offset position. */
Example
The following example opens for editing a file specified by a parameter. Using _EdSetPos( ), it sets the insertion point to position 19 of the file. It calls _EdGetPos( ) and inserts some text to verify that the insertion point has been set.
