IFormattedText Interface

The IFormattedText interface contains properties and methods common to all text parts in a TX Text Control document. A TX Text Control document consists of the document's main text and additional pieces of text like text frames, headers and footers and footnote sections. A single text part has lines, paragraphs, characters and a selection which can be used to assign character and paragraph formatting attributes to a piece of text. Additionally a text part can contain tables, images, text fields, hypertext links and misspelled words. The following classes implement this interface: TextControl, ServerTextControl, WPF.TextControl, TextFrame, HeaderFooter, MainText, FootnoteSection and FootnoteText.
