Next to it, the programming overview sorts the members of `TXTextControl` by programming category, lists the data types the reference uses, gives the mouse and keyboard interface of the control and lists the functions that table cell formulas support. Start with the control or object you work with, or with a category when you know the task but not the member. ### Controls and Objects | Control or object | Description | |---|---| | [TXTextControl Control](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/txtextcontrol/llms-full.txt) | The `TXTextControl` control is the main control that is used to display and edit a text document. Its large number of properties, methods and events are listed in alphabetical order on its page and sorted by category in the [Programming Categories](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/categories/llms-full.txt) chapter. | | [TXButtonBar Control](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/txbuttonbar/llms-full.txt) | A `TXButtonBar` control represents a button bar for a `TXTextControl`. It offers several combo boxes and buttons and can be designed by the programmer. | | [TXRulerBar Control](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/txrulerbar/llms-full.txt) | A `TXRulerBar` control represents a ruler bar for a `TXTextControl`. It can be used to set paragraph attributes like indents and tabulators and the horizontal alignment of table cells. | | [TXStatusBar Control](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/txstatusbar/llms-full.txt) | A `TXStatusBar` control represents a status bar for a `TXTextControl`. It shows the page, line and column number of the current text input position, the zoom factor and some key states. It can also display an info text. | | [Style Object](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/style/llms-full.txt) | A `Style` object is an OLE Automation object that represents a formatting style. To get a style or to iterate through all existing styles, use the [Styles](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/styles/llms-full.txt) collection object. To create a new `Style` object with the **CreateObject** function, use its class name `TIS.TX.Style.34`. | | [Styles Collection Object](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/styles/llms-full.txt) | A `Styles` collection object is an OLE Automation object whose members represent all formatting styles a `TXTextControl` document contains. The members of a `Styles` collection object are OLE Automation objects of the [Style](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/style/llms-full.txt) class. A `Styles` collection object can be obtained with the [TXTextControl.Styles](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/txtextcontrol/styles-property/llms-full.txt) property. | | [XMLElement Object](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/xmlelement/llms-full.txt) | An `XMLElement` object is an OLE Automation object that represents an element in an XML document. To iterate through all existing XML elements, use the [XMLElements](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/xmlelements/llms-full.txt) collection object. To create a new `XMLElement` object with the **CreateObject** function, use its class name `TIS.TX.XMLElement.34`. | | [XMLElements Collection Object](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/xmlelements/llms-full.txt) | An `XMLElements` collection object is an OLE Automation object whose members represent all XML elements with a certain tag name. The members of an `XMLElements` collection object are OLE Automation objects of the class [XMLElement](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/xmlelement/llms-full.txt). An `XMLElements` collection object can be obtained with the [TXTextControl.XMLElements](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/txtextcontrol/xmlelements-property/llms-full.txt) property. | | [Obsolete Properties, Methods and Events](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/obsolete-members/llms-full.txt) | Members of `TXTextControl` that are obsolete, such as the RTF and text import and export methods and the hyperlink and VT Speller members of earlier versions. | ### Programming Overview Four pages look at the reference from the side of the task rather than the control: | If you want to | Read | |---|---| | Find every member for one task, such as tables, fields or printing | [Programming Categories](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/categories/llms-full.txt) | | Look up the size and range of a data type such as `Long` or `Variant` | [Data Types](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/data-types/llms-full.txt) | | Know what a mouse action or key does in the control | [Mouse and Keyboard Assignment](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/assignments/llms-full.txt) | | Look up a function for a table cell formula | [Supported Formula Functions](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/formula-functions/llms-full.txt) | ### Pages in This Section -
