Remarks

COM Signature

From textmgr.idl:

HRESULT IVsTextManager::NavigateToPosition(
   [in] IVsTextBuffer * pBuffer,
   [in] REFGUID guidDocViewType,
   [in] long iPos,
   [in] long iLen
);

This method is the same as NavigateToLineAndColumn, except that it uses one-dimensional, positional coordinates.
