This property determines which kind of headers and/or footers the document or a section contains. Headers and footers are only displayed, if the [ViewMode](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/txtextcontrol/viewmode-property/llms-full.txt) property has been set to **Page View**. The [SectionCurrent](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/txtextcontrol/sectioncurrent-property/llms-full.txt) property determines the part of the document. Using this property, a header or footer is not automatically activated. The [HeaderFooterActivate](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/txtextcontrol/headerfooteractivate-method/llms-full.txt) method or the built-in mouse interface can be used to activate a header or footer.
