COM Signature

From textmgr.idl:

HRESULT IVsTextView::PositionCaretForEditing(
   [in] long iLine,
   [in] long cIndentLevels
);

This method places the caret in a position suitable for editing a function. If there is text on the line, the caret goes to the first non-white space character. Otherwise, this method creates the appropriate number of indentations (cIndentLevels) according to the current language settings and places the caret at this location. No centering is done.
