IFormattedText Interface

Description

The IFormattedText interface contains properties and methods common to all text parts in a TX Text Control document. A TX Text Control document consists of the document's main text and additional pieces of text like text frames, headers and footers and footnote sections. A single text part has lines, paragraphs, characters and a selection which can be used to assign character and paragraph formatting attributes to a piece of text. Additionally a text part can contain tables, images, text fields, hypertext links and misspelled words. The following classes implement this interface: TextControl, ServerTextControl, WPF.TextControl, TextFrame, HeaderFooter, MainText, FootnoteSection and FootnoteText.

Syntax

public interface IFormattedText

Public Interface IFormattedText

Examples

The following example shows how to loop through all text parts to get the first line of each part.

foreach (object obj in textControl1.TextParts)
{
	Console.WriteLine("First Line: " + ((IFormattedText)obj).Lines[1].Text);
}

The following example applies bold formatting through the iformatted text's selection.

Selection formattedSelection = iFormattedText.Selection;
formattedSelection.Bold = true;
iFormattedText.Selection = formattedSelection;

Dim formattedSelection As Selection = iFormattedText.Selection
formattedSelection.Bold = True
iFormattedText.Selection = formattedSelection
