EditPoint2.LessThan(TextPoint) Method

Definition

Returns whether the value of the called EditPoint object's AbsoluteCharOffset is less than that of the given TextPoint object.

public:
 bool LessThan(EnvDTE::TextPoint ^ Point);
public:
 bool LessThan(EnvDTE::TextPoint ^ Point);
bool LessThan(EnvDTE::TextPoint const & Point);
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DispId(32)]
public bool LessThan (EnvDTE.TextPoint Point);
[<System.Runtime.InteropServices.DispId(32)>]
abstract member LessThan : EnvDTE.TextPoint -> bool
Public Function LessThan (Point As TextPoint) As Boolean

Parameters

Point
TextPoint

Required. A TextPoint to compare to the calling point object.

Returns

true if Point has a greater AbsoluteCharOffset property value than the calling point object's AbsoluteCharOffset property; otherwise, false.

Remarks

LessThan throws a ArgumentException if Point is not in the same document as the calling point object. With the VirtualPoint object, LessThan compares the virtual positions if the argument is a VirtualPoint. Otherwise it compares the physical positions.
