Question

I found the following

[Quest.PowerGUI.SDK.ScriptEditorFactory]::CurrentInstance.CurrentDocumentWindow.Document.CaretLine

to determine the line of the cursor in PowerGui 2.4 Script editor.

But I found nothing to get the column. Is it really missing?

And where is the best place to ask such a question?

Yes currently the property is called CaretCharacter.
But why did they call it CaretCharacter and not CaretColumn?

Here is it :

[Quest.PowerGUI.SDK.ScriptEditorFactory]::CurrentInstance.CurrentDocumentWindow.Document.CaretCharacter

How can you discover by yourself ?

$a = [Quest.PowerGUI.SDK.ScriptEditorFactory]::CurrentInstance.CurrentDocumentWindow.Document
$a  |Get-Member

gives

   TypeName: Quest.PowerGUI.SDK.Document
