# FrameBase Class > The FrameBase class is the base class of the Image, TextFrame, ChartFrame, BarcodeFrame and DrawingFrame classes. It implements general frame features like the position in the text, the insertion mode or the distances between the text and the frame. - **Product:** TX Text Control .NET for Windows Forms - **Section:** Reference - **Kind:** Class - **Namespace:** `TXTextControl` - **Package:** `TXTextControl.TextControl.WinForms.SDK` (assembly `TXTextControl.dll`, from the private NuGet feed or Text Control Offline Packages) - **.NET Framework:** reference `TXTextControl.dll` from the setup - **Derived:** `TXTextControl.DataVisualization.BarcodeFrame`, `TXTextControl.DataVisualization.ChartFrame`, `TXTextControl.DataVisualization.DrawingFrame`, `TXTextControl.Image`, `TXTextControl.SignatureField`, `TXTextControl.TextFrame` - **Path:** TX Text Control .NET for Windows Forms > Reference > TXTextControl > FrameBase Class - **Web URL:** https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol/framebase/ - **LLMs URL:** https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol/framebase/llms.txt - **LLMs-Full URL:** https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol/framebase/llms-full.txt --- ## On This Page - [Description](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol/framebase/#description) - [Syntax](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol/framebase/#syntax) - [Examples](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol/framebase/#examples) - [Members](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol/framebase/#members) --- ## In This Section - [FrameBase.Alignment Property](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol/framebase/alignment-property/llms.txt): Gets or sets the frame's horizontal alignment when it is anchored to a paragraph. - [FrameBase.Bounds Property](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol/framebase/bounds-property/llms.txt): Gets the frame's bounding rectangle relative to the upper left corner of the document. - [FrameBase.ChangeZOrder Method](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol/framebase/changezorder-method/llms.txt): Changes the frame's z-order. - [FrameBase.DescriptiveText Property](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol/framebase/descriptivetext-property/llms.txt): Gets or sets a descriptive text for the frame. An empty string indicates that the frame has no such text. An empty string can also be used to delete a previously set text. - [FrameBase.ID Property](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol/framebase/id-property/llms.txt): Gets or sets an identifier for the frame. It must be a one-based value. A value of zero indicates that the image, text frame, chart, barcode or drawing has no identifier. Zero can also be used to delete a previously set identifier. - [FrameBase.InsertionMode Property](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol/framebase/insertionmode-property/llms.txt): Gets or sets a value determining whether the frame is treated as a single character or the document's text either flows around or overwrites the frame. If the document's text flows around or overwrites the frame, this property also determines whether the image, text frame, chart, barcode or drawing is moved with the text or fixed positioned on a page. - [FrameBase.Location Property](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol/framebase/location-property/llms.txt): Gets or sets, in twips, the frame's current location. If the image, text frame, chart, barcode or drawing is anchored to a paragraph, the location is relative to the paragraph. Otherwise, it is relative to the document. If the frame has a horizontal alignment or if it is inserted inline, this property returns zero. This property cannot be set for images, text frames, charts, barcodes or drawings which are inserted inline. - [FrameBase.Moveable Property](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol/framebase/moveable-property/llms.txt): Determines whether a frame can be moved in the document at run time with the built-in mouse interface. - [FrameBase.Name Property](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol/framebase/name-property/llms.txt): Gets or sets a name for the frame. An empty string indicates that the frame has no name. An empty string can also be used to delete a previously set name. - [FrameBase.Size Property](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol/framebase/size-property/llms.txt): Gets or sets the frame's size in twips. For images this property is read only. - [FrameBase.Sizeable Property](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol/framebase/sizeable-property/llms.txt): Determines whether the frame can be resized at run time with the built-in mouse interface. - [FrameBase.TextDistances Property](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol/framebase/textdistances-property/llms.txt): Gets or sets the distances, in twips, between the frame and the document's text. The property's value is an array of four variables specifying the distances in the following order: left, top, right and bottom. If a value is set to -1, it is not changed. - [FrameBase.TextPosition Property](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol/framebase/textposition-property/llms.txt): Read only. Gets the frame's character position in the document's text (one-based). --- ## Nearby - **Previous:** [Frame Enumeration](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol/frame/enumeration/llms.txt) - **Next:** [FrameBase.Alignment Property](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol/framebase/alignment-property/llms.txt)
