I need to know how get retrieve the current Line and
character offset for the active code document in visual
studio.net
for example if i wanted to keep track of exactly what
point the caret is at inside a document. Basically I want
to keep track of every character the user typins into the
code document as they type it.
Here is some ~example~ code to give you an idea of what I
am trying to do.

Code:
Private Sub mobjTimer_Tick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles mobjTimer.Tick
Dim NewPoint As TextPoint
Dim TD As TextDocument
Dim TS As TextSelection
' stop timer
mobjTimer.Stop()
Try
' get current code document
TD = DirectCast(mobjHelper.DTE.ActiveDocument.Object("TextDocument"), TextDocument)
Catch
'ERR: do nothing?
End Try
If Not TD Is Nothing Then
TS = TD.Selection
If PrevPos Is Nothing Then PrevPos = NewPoint
'check if position of chret changed
If PrevPos.Line = NewPoint.Line Then
If NewPoint.LineCharOffset <> PrevPos.LineCharOffset Then
AddTaskListItem("line pos changed")
AddTaskListItem(TD.CreateEditPoint(PrevPos).GetText(NewPoint))
mstrCodeTyped.Append(TD.CreateEditPoint(PrevPos).GetText(NewPoint))
End If
End If
PrevPos = NewPoint
End If
mobjTimer.Start()
End Sub
