### Description

Gets or sets a value specifying whether the text at the current input position is interpreted as standard text which means that it is displayed as it is. The [NumberTextType](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol/inputformat/numbertexttype-property/llms-full.txt) can be used when text in a table cell should be interpreted as a number. If text is selected, the property specifies this attribute for the whole selected text.

### Syntax

```csharp
public bool? StandardTextType { get; set; }
```

```vbnet
Public Property StandardTextType As Boolean?
```

### Examples

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

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

inputFormat.StandardTextType = true;
if (inputFormat.StandardTextType != null)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Input Format: Standard Text Type is available.");
}
```

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

inputFormat.StandardTextType = True
If inputFormat.StandardTextType IsNot Nothing Then
    Console.WriteLine("Input Format: Standard Text Type is available.")
End If
```

### Remarks

The property returns null when the text selection contains multiple table cells with mixed setting.
