Highlight(select) part of source/target text in editor's view

Lubos Eimut

Hi,
Is there a way how to select part of source/target text in editor's view?
I've prepared my own custom verifier and I'm able to report messages using IBilingualContentMessageReporter into messages view.
It's working well in this view - the part of source/target text is highlighted when the error is selected.
Now, I would like to implement similair functionality in my custom view part. I have a data - text locations, messages etc., but I don't know how to call "select part of source/target text "

After some experiments I ended with using reflection, but I would prefer cleaner way.

I'm curious if such sollution can be used in public plugin

 var target = doc.Selection.Target;
 var cs = GetProperty("ContentSelection", target); 
 MethodInfo methodInfo = cs.GetType().GetMethod("MoveTo", new Type[] { typeof(ContentRange) });
 var from = GetProperty("ContentSelection.From", target); 
 var pos = new Position((Position) from);
 pos.TextOffset = error.Start.TextOffset;
 var endPos = new Position(pos);
 endPos.TextOffset = error.End.TextOffset;
 var contentRange = new ContentRange(pos, endPos);
 var result = methodInfo.Invoke(cs, new object[] { contentRange });
...
public object GetProperty(string compoundProperty, object target)
{
 string[] bits = compoundProperty.Split('.');
 for (int k = 0; k < bits.Length; k++)
 {
   PropertyInfo propertyToGet = target.GetType().GetProperty(bits[k], BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Public);
   target = propertyToGet.GetValue(target, null);
 } 
 return target;
}

    Hi Angela,

    Find code below.

     public static void SetSelection(long startOffset, long endOffset)
            {
                var EditController = SdlTradosStudio.Application.GetController<EditorController>();

                //Get Target Content Selection Property Data
                var target = EditController.ActiveDocument.Selection.Target;

                PropertyInfo pi = target.GetType().GetProperty("ContentSelection", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);
                var propertyObject = pi.GetValue(target);

                //Get IContentSelection object
                IContentSelection contentSelection = (IContentSelection)propertyObject;

                //Set content start position
                var startPosition = new Position((Position)contentSelection.From);
                startPosition.TextOffset = startOffset;

                //Set content end position
                var endPosition = new Position(startPosition);
                endPosition.TextOffset = endOffset;

                //create range base on start & end position
                var contentRange = new ContentRange(startPosition, endPosition);

                //Invoke MoveTo method to set selection
                MethodInfo methodInfo = contentSelection.GetType().GetMethod("MoveTo", new Type[] { typeof(ContentRange) });
                var result = methodInfo.Invoke(contentSelection, new object[] { contentRange });
            }
