Fields

Name	Value	Description
WORDEXT_CURRENT	0	Finds a word or token containing a specified position, if any such word or token exists.
WORDEXT_FINDWORD	0	Finds words only. See Remarks.
WORDEXT_PREVIOUS	1	Finds the nearest word or token whose last character is less than a specified position.
WORDEXT_NEXT	2	Finds the nearest word or token whose first character is greater than a specified position.
WORDEXT_MOVETYPE_MASK	3	Flag to mask WORDEXT_PREVIOUS and WORDEXT_NEXT.
WORDEXT_NEAREST	3	Finds the word or token nearest to a specified position.
WORDEXT_FINDTOKEN	4	Finds words and tokens. See Remarks.
WORDEXT_FINDEXPRESSION	8	Find simple expressions, like *pFoo.

Remarks

For the WORDEXT_FINDWORD value, "FINDWORD" refers any of the following:

• keyword

• identifier

• number

For the WORDEXT_FINDTOKEN value, "FINDTOKEN" refers to any of the following:

• keyword, identifier, or number

• operator (for example, ++ or %)

• delimiter (for example, quotation marks (") or comment marks (// or /))

• white space

Thus, by specifying a value of WORDEXT_FINDWORD, you return a word extent that corresponds to a keyword, a number, or an identifier. For example, if the text were "a[1]," the "a" or the "1" could be returned, but the whole expression would not be returned. However, if you specify a value of WORDEXT_FINDTOKEN, then you would return any keyword, number, or identifier, or you would return operators, delimiters, or white space. Thus, if the text were "a[1] ", any single character of the string could match, but any larger portion of the string would not.

Note

The term "token" is not related to a language token in compiler terminology.
