### Members

| Member | Description |

| Always | The element is always highlighted. |
| Auto | The element's highlight mode is governed by the global highlight mode property. |

### Examples

The following example uses `TXTextControl.HighlightMode.Always` (the element is always highlighted.) in a document-editing workflow.

```javascript
function onTxError(error) {
    console.error("TX Text Control error:", error.msg);
    error.handled = true;
}

TXTextControl.textParts.getMainText(function(mainText) {
    const comments = mainText.comments;
    comments.getItem(function(commentedText) {
        if (!commentedText) {
            console.warn("No commented text is available at the current input position.");
            return;
        }
    
        commentedText.setHighlightMode(
            TXTextControl.HighlightMode.Always,
            function() {
                console.log("set highlight mode completed.");
            },
            onTxError
        );
    }, onTxError);
}, onTxError);
```
