Parameters

Line: Int32

Examples

Sub MoveToDisplayColumnExample()  
   ' Before running this example, open a text document.  
   Dim objSel As TextSelection = DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection  
   ' Go to first line in document and select it.  
   objSel.GotoLine(1, True)  
   ' Move to various lines and offsets (character columns).  
   objSel.MoveToAbsoluteOffset(3, True)  
   objSel.MoveToDisplayColumn(3, True)  
End Sub

Remarks

MoveToDisplayColumn moves the text selection to the specified line and column. If the column offset is in the middle of a tab character in the line, the active point is moved to the position immediately preceding the tab.

If the values of Line or Column are zero, then the active point remains at the current line number and/or column number.
