  • Article

Namespace:  EnvDTE80
Assembly:  EnvDTE80 (in EnvDTE80.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Function IsVisible ( _
    Point As TextPoint, _
    PointOrCount As Object _
) As Boolean

bool IsVisible(
    TextPoint Point,
    Object PointOrCount
)

bool IsVisible(
    [InAttribute] TextPoint^ Point, 
    [InAttribute] Object^ PointOrCount
)

abstract IsVisible : 
        Point:TextPoint * 
        PointOrCount:Object -> bool

function IsVisible(
    Point : TextPoint, 
    PointOrCount : Object
) : boolean

Parameters

  • Point
    Type: EnvDTE.TextPoint

    Required. A TextPoint location used to determine if a character is visible. Since a Point is situated between two characters, the default interpretation (that is, when no value is given for the PointOrCount argument) is the first character immediately to the right of the text point. If the character after the text point is visible, then the Point is visible as well.

  • PointOrCount
    Type: Object

    Optional. Another point that works with the first Point argument to indicate a range of text. IsVisible determines whether or not this range of text is visible. PointOrCount can also be set to a number of characters that follow Point to indicate the range of text.

    If a value is not supplied to the PointOrCount argument, IsVisible checks for the visibility of the character immediately to the right of Point, because PointOrCount has a default value of 1.

Return Value

Type: Boolean
true if the point is visible; otherwise, false.

Remarks

If a value is supplied to PointOrCount, then IsVisible returns true when the entire selected range of text is visible.

Examples

This example opens a text document, displays text in it, and then uses the IsVisible method of TextPane2 to determine if the text in the text pane is visible. For more information about how to run this example as an add-in, see How to: Compile and Run the Automation Object Model Code Examples.
