textControl1.Select(3, 0);

TXTextControl.DocumentTarget newTarget = new TXTextControl.DocumentTarget("Page1");

textControl1.DocumentTargets.Add(newTarget);
textControl1.InputPosition = new TXTextControl.InputPosition(2, 1, 3);
TXTextControl.DocumentLink newLink = new TXTextControl.DocumentLink("Jump to page 1", newTarget);
textControl1.DocumentLinks.Add(newLink);

TextControl1.ViewMode = TXTextControl.ViewMode.PageView
TextControl1.Text = "Page 1" + Chr(12) + "Page 2" + Chr(12) + "Page 3"
TextControl1.Select(3, 0)

Dim newTarget As TXTextControl.DocumentTarget = New TXTextControl.DocumentTarget("Page1")

TextControl1.DocumentTargets.Add(newTarget)
TextControl1.InputPosition = New TXTextControl.InputPosition(2, 1, 3)
Dim newLink As TXTextControl.DocumentLink = New TXTextControl.DocumentLink("Jump to page 1", newTarget)
TextControl1.DocumentLinks.Add(newLink)
