### Description

Gets or sets a value specifying whether there is a complete frame around the text. If text is selected, the property specifies this attribute for the whole selected text.

### Syntax

```csharp
public bool BoxFrame { get; set; }
```

```vbnet
Public Property BoxFrame As Boolean
```

### Examples

The following XAML example shows how to bind the BoxFrame property to a checkable menu item.

```plaintext
<MenuItem
    IsCheckable="True"
    Header="Box Frame"
    IsChecked="{Binding ElementName=textControl1, Path=InputFormat.BoxFrame}" />
```

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

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

inputFormat.BoxFrame = true;
if (inputFormat.BoxFrame)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Input Format: Box Frame is enabled.");
}
```

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

inputFormat.BoxFrame = True
If inputFormat.BoxFrame Then
    Console.WriteLine("Input Format: Box Frame is enabled.")
End If
```
