EditPoint objects are an alternate way to write to the buffer, and represent a location in the text buffer. These objects are similar to TextSelection objects, except that they operate on data in the text buffer rather than on text displayed in a code window.

Note

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