### Examples

The following example applies paragraph layout to selected report text by using `ParagraphFormat.FrameStyle`.

```csharp
textControl.Text = "First item\nSecond item\nThird item";
textControl.Select(0, textControl.Text.Length);
ParagraphFormat paragraphFormat = textControl.Selection.ParagraphFormat;

paragraphFormat.FrameStyle = TXTextControl.FrameStyle.Single;
Console.WriteLine($"Frame Style used by Paragraph Format: {paragraphFormat.FrameStyle}");

textControl.Selection.ParagraphFormat = paragraphFormat;
```

```vbnet
textControl.Text = "First item" & vbCrLf & "Second item" & vbCrLf & "Third item"
textControl.Select(0, textControl.Text.Length)
Dim paragraphFormat As ParagraphFormat = textControl.Selection.ParagraphFormat

paragraphFormat.FrameStyle = TXTextControl.FrameStyle.Single
Console.WriteLine($"Frame Style used by Paragraph Format: {paragraphFormat.FrameStyle}")

textControl.Selection.ParagraphFormat = paragraphFormat
```

### Remarks

The property's default value is FrameStyle.Single.

The property returns its default value when the text selection contains multiple paragraphs with mixed style. The [Selection.IsCommonValueSelected](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol/selection/iscommonvalueselected-method/llms-full.txt) method can be used to check for mixed attributes.
