ITextSelection::MoveDown method (tom.h)

Mimics the functionality of the Down Arrow and Page Down keys.

Syntax

HRESULT MoveDown(
  long Unit,
  long Count,
  long Extend,
  long *pDelta
);

Parameters

Unit

Type: long

Unit to use in the operation. It can be one of the following.

Value Corresponding key combination Meaning
tomLine Down Arrow Moves down one line. This is the default.
tomParagraph Ctrl+Down Arrow Moves down one paragraph.
tomScreen Page Down Moves down one screen.
tomWindow Ctrl+Page Down Moves to last character in window.

Count

Type: long

Number of Units to move past. The default value is 1.

Extend

Type: long

Flag that indicates how to change the selection. If Extend is zero (or tomMove), the method collapses the selection to an insertion point and then moves. If Extend is 1 (or tomExtend), the method moves the active end and leaves the other end alone. The default value is zero. A nonzero Extend value corresponds to the Shift key being pressed in addition to the key combination described in Unit.

pDelta

Type: long*

Pointer to a variable that receives the actual count of units the insertion point or active end is moved down. Collapsing the selection counts as one unit. This parameter can be null.

Return value

Type: HRESULT

The method returns an HRESULT value. If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If the method fails, it returns one of the following error codes. For more information about COM error codes, see Error Handling in COM.

Return code Description
E_INVALIDARG
Unit is not valid.
S_FALSE
Failure for some other reason.

Remarks

The ITextSelection::MoveUp and ITextSelection::MoveDown methods are similar to the ITextSelection::MoveLeft and ITextSelection::MoveRight methods, except that they reflect the behavior of the Up Arrow, Down Arrow, Page Up, and Page Down keys on the cursor-keypad.
