### Description

Gets a [DocumentPermissions](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol/documentpermissions/llms-full.txt) object which provides properties determining how a document can be edited and formatted when the [EditMode](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol/textcontrol/editmode-property/llms-full.txt) property is set to `EditMode.ReadAndSelect`.

### Syntax

```csharp
public DocumentPermissions DocumentPermissions { get; }

```csharp
DocumentPermissions permissions = textControl.DocumentPermissions;
permissions.ReadOnly = true;
permissions.AllowPrinting = true;
```

```vbnet
Dim permissions As DocumentPermissions = textControl.DocumentPermissions
permissions.ReadOnly = True
permissions.AllowPrinting = True
```
