### Description

Returns an array of the names of all formatting styles, the document contains. This property can be used to fill a combo box or a menu.

### Syntax

```csharp
public string[] StyleNames { get; }
```

```vbnet
Public ReadOnly Property StyleNames As String()
```

### Examples

The following XAML example shows how to bind the [StyleName](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-server/reference/txtextcontrol/inputformat/stylename-property/llms-full.txt) property to a combo box which contains all style names returned by the StyleNames property.

```plaintext
<ComboBox
    Width="200"
    IsEditable="True"
    IsReadOnly="True"
    Text="{Binding ElementName=textControl1, Path=InputFormat.StyleName}"
    ItemsSource="{Binding ElementName=textControl1, Path=InputFormat.StyleNames}" />
```

The following example changes the formatting applied to text entered at the end of a document by using `InputFormat.StyleNames`.

```csharp
textControl.Text = "Project summary";
textControl.InputPosition = new InputPosition(textControl.Text.Length);
InputFormat inputFormat = textControl.InputFormat;

foreach (string text in inputFormat.StyleNames)
{
    Console.WriteLine(text.Length);
}
```

```vbnet
textControl.Text = "Project summary"
textControl.InputPosition = New InputPosition(textControl.Text.Length)
Dim inputFormat As InputFormat = textControl.InputFormat

For Each text As String In inputFormat.StyleNames
    Console.WriteLine(text.Length)
Next
```
