Parameters

• line
  Type: System.Int32

  The line on which the word to examine is located.

• idx
  Type: System.Int32

  The offset into the line to somewhere in the word (does not have to be at the beginning of the word).

• flags
  Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextManager.Interop.WORDEXTFLAGS

  A combination of flags from the WORDEXTFLAGS enumeration.

• startIdx
  Type: System.Int32%

  [out] Returns the offset of the first character of the word.

• endIdx
  Type: System.Int32%

  [out] Returns the offset of the character one past the last character of the word.

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the word was found; otherwise, false, meaning that there is no word at that position.

Remarks

This method calls the colorizer's GetLineInfo method to obtain the list of tokens for the specified line. Then using the token list and the specified flags, this method proceeds to find the requested token.
