How to get the View for a particular Document position?

Question

Hi there,
Does anyone know how to get the "deepest" View that is responsible for rendering a particular Document offset?
I tried looking at modelToView() and some other methods, but I am lost.
Can anyone please help me?
Thanks,
Swati

To find the table cell of the insertion point, you could use something like:
InterfacePtr<ITextStoryThread> storythreadp(txtModel->QueryStoryThread(startPos + 1));
InterfacePtr<ICellContent> cellcontentp(storythreadp, UseDefaultIID());
if (! cellcontentp) {
  // Not a table cell, so see if it's the primary thread (kTextStoryBoss/ITextModel).
  InterfacePtr<ITextModel> threadmodelp(storythreadp, UseDefaultIID());
  if (threadmodelp) {
    // It's the primary thread...
  else {
    // It's something else with an ITextStoryThread (note, footnote, etc.).
else {
  // The insertion point's in a table cell (kTextCellContentBoss).
  InterfacePtr<ITableModel> tableModel(cellcontentp->GetTableModel(), UseDefaultIID());
  GridID gridID(cellcontentp->GetGridID());
  GridAddress gridLoc(cellcontentp->GetGridAddress());
  // ...and so on.
Hope this helps get you where you want to go.
