The bounding rectangle is the smallest rectangle which contains all characters of the field's text. The rectangle is given in twips with an origin at the upper left corner of the document. - [TextField Constructor](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-server/reference/txtextcontrol/textfield/constructor/llms.txt): Creates a new instance of the TextField class. - [TextField.ContainsInputPosition Property](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-server/reference/txtextcontrol/textfield/containsinputposition-property/llms.txt): Returns true, if the Textfield contains the current text input position. - [TextField.Deleteable Property](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-server/reference/txtextcontrol/textfield/deleteable-property/llms.txt): Specifies whether a text field can be deleted by the end-user while a TX Text Control document is being edited.
