Parameters

• text
  Type: String

  The text to be inserted in the buffer. Each "line" from the text will be written out a line at a time.

• boxStart
  Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Text.VirtualSnapshotPoint%

  The start of the newly inserted box.

• boxEnd
  Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Text.VirtualSnapshotPoint%

  The end of the newly inserted box.

Return Value

Exceptions

Remarks

This method has the same behavior as copying and pasting a box selection. In order to insert the text as a box, text is split by newlines and inserted a line at a time, each one on a successive line below the line the caret is on, starting at the caret's x coordinate on each line.
