CodeArea: how to convert offset to TextPos?

[Andy Goryachev]

There is no dedicated method to do that.  The application can iterate over paragraphs to compute the text position, just keep in mind that the model can be quite large and it a) will take a lot of iterations and b) the result may exceed 2^31 (i.e. need to be 'long').

The same is true for the reverse operation, TextPos -> offset.

Subject: CodeArea: how to convert offset to TextPos?
Could anyone say how to convert offset to TextPos in CodeArea?

For example, in RTFX CodeArea we have:

var pos = codeArea.offsetToPosition(offset, Bias.Backward);
var paragraph = pos.getMajor();
