How do you use pInBounds?

I'm converting a user pick-point in a Profile View into station/offset, but how do I determine if the user picks inside or outside of the profile view?

Right now, I get a result either way. If the user picks outside the bounds of the Profile View, I still get a station and elevation, determined as if the Profile View grid were extended an infinite amount in all directions.

I tried declaring a variable of type "object pInBounds", and passing it in the command, as follows:

double sta, elev;
object pInBounds;
view.FindStationAndElevationAtXY(pickpoint.X, pickpoint.Y, out sta, out elev, out pInBounds);

But all I get with this is pInBounds==null, regardless of whether the user picks in bounds or out of bounds.

The docs say that pInBounds should be VARIANT_TRUE or VARIANT_FALSE. What does this mean in C# terms?

Looks like it is not implemented. I'm getting the same result in 2009 as
well.

I guess we need to use the MinElev, MaxElev, StationStart, StationEnd
properties to check if the pick point is within the profileview.

Yeah, that's what I ended up doing, and it seems to be a relatively effective workaround.
