Remarks

COM Signature

From vsshell.idl:

HRESULT IVsStatusbar::SetLineColChar(  
   [in]VARIANT *pvLine,  
   [in]VARIANT *pvCol,  
   [in]VARIANT *pvChar  
);

The line number, column and character position are displayed as "Ln##Col##Ch##" in the editor information area of the status bar.

For all parameters, pass in null to leave their values unchanged. The VARIANT for each parameter must be VT_I2, VT_I4, VT_BSTR, or VT_EMPTY. If it is VT_I2 or VT_I4, the number is formatted into Ln ##, Col ##, Ch ##. If it is VT_BSTR, the text is displayed as is, with no formatting. If it is VT_EMPTY, that field is not displayed.

The difference between column and character positions is evident for characters such as the tab character that can incorporate more than one column.
