TextSelection.MoveToPoint(TextPoint, Boolean) Method

Definition

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. Otherwise, both ends are moved to the specified ___location. This argument applies only to the TextSelection object.
