TX Text Control ActiveX

Loading, Saving and Database Support

Topic

Documents reach TXTextControl from files, from memory and from databases. The members below load, append and save documents in files or memory, open the built-in load and save dialog boxes and exchange text with a database when the control is used as a bound control.

The Change event tells you that the contents have changed.
