### Description

An instance of the InputPosition class represents the current text input position of a TXTextControl document.

### Syntax

```csharp
public class InputPosition
```

```vbnet
Public Class InputPosition
```

### Examples

The following example shows how to add a TextField to the document and how to set the input position right after the field.

```csharp
textControl1.Selection.Text = "Name: ";
TXTextControl.TextField field = new TXTextControl.TextField("%name%");
field.DoubledInputPosition = true;
field.ShowActivated = true;

textControl1.TextFields.Add(field);
textControl1.InputPosition = new TXTextControl.InputPosition(
                             field.Start + field.Length - 1,
                             TXTextControl.TextFieldPosition.OutsideTextField);
```

```vbnet
TextControl1.Selection.Text = "Name: "
Dim field As TXTextControl.TextField = New TXTextControl.TextField("%name%")
field.DoubledInputPosition = True
field.ShowActivated = True

TextControl1.TextFields.Add(field)
TextControl1.InputPosition = New TXTextControl.InputPosition( _
                             field.Start + field.Length - 1, _
                             TXTextControl.TextFieldPosition.OutsideTextField)
```

The following example examines or changes the insertion point in a short document.

```csharp
textControl.Text = "Project summary";
InputPosition inputPosition = textControl.InputPosition;
```

```vbnet
textControl.Text = "Project summary"
Dim inputPosition As InputPosition = textControl.InputPosition
```
