Moves the active point to the given position.

void MoveToPoint(EnvDTE::TextPoint const & Point, bool Extend = false);

[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DispId(38)]
public void MoveToPoint (EnvDTE.TextPoint Point, bool Extend = false);

[<System.Runtime.InteropServices.DispId(38)>]
abstract member MoveToPoint : EnvDTE.TextPoint * bool -> unit

Public Sub MoveToPoint (Point As TextPoint, Optional Extend As Boolean = false)

Parameters

Point

TextPoint

Required. The location in which to move the character.

Extend

Boolean

Optional. Default = false. Determines whether to extend the current selection. If Extend is true, then the active end of the selection moves to the location, while the anchor end remains where it is.
