Classes by Task and Hierarchy — TX Text Control .NET Server

Which classes do you need to format text, fill a table, merge a template or read a PDF form? The .NET reference sorts the classes of TX Text Control .NET Server by namespace; the sections below sort them by the task they solve. Each section names the entry point on ServerTextControl or MailMerge, the classes and members you work with and the topic page that shows them in code.

Every class and member links to its page in the class library reference. Events such as TableCreated belong to ServerTextControl; the events of the same classes that react to mouse clicks or keyboard input belong to the desktop controls and to the TextViewGenerator of Server Visualization. The last section, Base Classes and Interfaces, shows which classes share a base class.

Base Classes and Interfaces

Many classes share a base class that defines their common members. The reference documents a member on the base class, so a property such as Location of an image is found on the page of FrameBase. The hierarchy below lists the base classes the reference documents; each class name is linked in the table after it.

IFormattedText is implemented by ServerTextControl, MainText, HeaderFooter, TextFrame, FootnoteText and FootnoteSection. Code written against the interface works with the main text and with every other text part.

The exception classes FilterException, FormulaException, NumberFormatException, LicenseLevelException, TextEditorException and MergeCanceledException derive from System.Exception. Most event argument classes derive from System.EventArgs; CannotTrackChangeEventArgs and BlockMergingEventArgs derive from System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs.
