What did TX Text Control ActiveX 19.0 add over version 18.0? Page numbering per section, built-in context menus, different headers and footers for even and odd pages, new table and print dialog boxes and permanent control characters, each described below with the members that implement it.

### New Features

- **Page numbering.** Page numbers can continue from the previous section or restart with a certain start number in each section of a document, set with [SectionRestartPageNumbering](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/txtextcontrol/sectionrestartpagenumbering-property/llms-full.txt). The new field type `txFieldAllPages`, defined with [FieldType](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/txtextcontrol/fieldtype-property/llms-full.txt), is a text field that shows the number of pages in the document or section. A new built-in dialog box, opened with [PageNumberDialog](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/txtextcontrol/pagenumberdialog-method/llms-full.txt), changes the formatting and numbering attributes of page number fields.
- **Built-in context menus.** `TXTextControl` now has built-in context menus. Depending on the area the user right-clicks, a menu with standard options for this area opens: one for standard text formatting, one for inserting or editing headers and footers and changing page settings, and one for images and text frames. Before a built-in context menu opens, the [ContextMenuOpening](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/txtextcontrol/contextmenuopening-event/llms-full.txt) event occurs. Setting its `Cancel` parameter to `True` keeps the menu from opening.
- **Headers and footers.** A document, or a single section of it, can have different headers and footers for even and odd pages:
    - A section contains either the same header or footer on all pages or different ones for even and odd pages.
    - All [Header and Footer](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/categories/headers-footers/llms-full.txt) properties and methods accept the new constants `txEvenHeader` and `txEvenFooter` for their `HeaderFooter` parameter. When an even header or footer is defined, `txHeader` and `txFooter` specify the odd header or footer; otherwise they specify the header or footer of all pages.
    - The built-in [SectionFormatDialog](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/txtextcontrol/sectionformatdialog-method/llms-full.txt) dialog box lets an end user select different headers and footers for even and odd pages.
    - An activated header or footer is now separated from the main text by a dividing line instead of a frame. The line has a label that tells which type of header or footer (even, odd, first page) is activated. [HeaderFooterStyle](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/txtextcontrol/headerfooterstyle-property/llms-full.txt) still offers the former activation styles, and [DisplayColor](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/txtextcontrol/displaycolor-property/llms-full.txt) sets the colors of dividing lines and labels.
- **Tables.** A new built-in dialog box, opened with [TableInsertDialog](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/txtextcontrol/tableinsertdialog-method/llms-full.txt), inserts a table. The user specifies the number of columns and rows and the column width, and whether the table has a header and whether its rows can break across a page border. The new [TableCellSelect](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/txtextcontrol/tablecellselect-method/llms-full.txt) method selects a cell, a row, a column or the complete table, and the new [TableDelete](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/txtextcontrol/tabledelete-method/llms-full.txt) method deletes a complete table from the document.
- **Printing.** The new [PrintDialog](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/txtextcontrol/printdialog-method/llms-full.txt) method opens a built-in dialog box and then prints the document. In the dialog box, the user selects a printer, a range of pages and a number of copies.
- **Control characters.** A new control character shows the anchor position of an anchored object. Anchored objects are positioned relative to a paragraph, and the anchor is shown to the left of this paragraph's first character, only while an anchored object is selected. In addition, individual control characters can be shown permanently on the screen, independently of the [ControlChars](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/txtextcontrol/controlchars-property/llms-full.txt) property, with the new [PermanentControlChars](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/txtextcontrol/permanentcontrolchars-property/llms-full.txt) property.
