_EDSTOPOS
_EdSToPos() Scrolls editor session window passed in <nWHAND> parameter so that a given position is visible. The function name is an abbreviation for “Editor Scroll To Position” and has nothing to do with “storing” something (like one can read in other documentations out in the dark :-)
VFP Syntax
= _EdSToPos(nWHAND, nOffset, lCenter)
Parameters
[in] nWHAND
Fox-window handle of the editor session in question. If nWHANDL is no valid editor-session handle, an error “API call caused an exception” (Error 2028) is raised.
[in] nOffset
Offset position from beginning of file that should be made visible. The <nOffset> value is zero-based. CRs @ EOL are counted, too.
[in] lCenter
If TRUE, then the offset position <nOffset> is vertically centred in the editor session window. If FALSE, then the offset position <nOffset> only is made visible (without vertical centring) within the editor session window.
Returns
VOID - no evaluable return value, coz always TRUE.
Remarks
The _EdSToPos() does not move the caret. If the target line (the one containing the <nOffset> offset position) is already visible (must be fully displayed), then calling _EdSToPos() with <lCenter> = .F. does nothing. Calling _EdSToPos() with <lCenter> = .T. may move the target line to vertical centre if it isn’t already centred. If the editor session window doesn’t have a vertical scroll bar displayed, the _EdSToPos() does nothing, coz there is nothing to scroll :-)
VFP Example(s)
Opening an editor session, scrolling down so that line#30 will be displayed centred:
*\\ Open editor session nWHAND =_EDOPENFIL("TEST.TXT", 1) nLineNo = 29 && line 30 nBOLposLineX = _EdGetLPos(nWHAND, m.nLineNo) = _EdSToPos(m.nWHAND, nBOLposLineX, .T.) *\\ Typically _EdSToPos() is used in conjunction with _EDPOSINVI() IF NOT _EDPOSINVI(m.nWHAND, m.nBOLposLineX) =_EDSTOPOS(m.nWHAND, m.nBOLposLineX, .F.) ENDIF
