Hi

I'm writing a simple addin that should open a file and go to a specific file position, as example
foo.cpp:20.5

I figured out how to open the file using DTE.Documents.Open, but did not figure out, how to go to
the line and column number.

Can somebody please give me a notice, how can do this for the active document?

As I know from a vb6.0 addin, I had to get to a CodePane object of the document to set current
position. Maybe I'm missing the way from a IDocument to ICodePane?

Thanks
Khamis

thanks, found the way of casting:

EnvDTE.Documents docs = _applicationObject.Documents;
EnvDTE.Document doc;
doc = docs.Open(sFile, "Auto", false);
TextSelection sel = (TextSelection)doc.Selection;
sel.GotoLine(10, false);
sel.CharRight(false, 10);
