Hi,
I'm trying to set the caret to a Line + Column pair. However ICaret only allows setting of TextPosition (Line+Character).
I can't find a way to convert Column to Character (I can only find conversions from Character to Column through GetCharacterColumn).
ICaret's CharacterColumn is not settable.
How do I set the caret to a specified Line and Column? If not possible, how do I convert a Column to Character?
Thanks
And if not possible to convert Column to Character, would you be able to provide this functionality?
Hello,
Can you give more information on why you need this functionality? Column is generally display only for end user info, whereas line/character are based on the actual document character data that you will be modifying.
The column is calculated based on the X-coordinate location of the character divided by Math.Max(1, editor.CharacterWidth), where editor.CharacterWidth gives the average width of a character in the current font.
Thus if you knew the column you could multiply it by the editor.CharacterWidth and then build a Point to pass to the view's LocationToPosition method.
Ok, thanks for your help!
