         This function finds the character at the specified position expressed
         in pixels.
 
+        The two overloads of this method allow to find either the position of
+        the character, as an index into the text control contents, or its row
+        and column.

         If the return code is not @c wxTE_HT_UNKNOWN the row and column of the
-        character closest to this position are returned in the @a col and @a
-        row parameters (unless the pointers are @NULL which is allowed).
-        Please note that this function is currently only implemented in wxUniv, wxMSW
-        and wxGTK2 ports.

+            The position of the point to check, in window device coordinates.

+            Receives the column of the character at the given position. May be
+            @NULL.
+        @param row
+            Receives the row of the character at the given position. May be
+            @NULL.

+            Receives the position of the character at the given position. May
