public bool Add(TextFrame textFrame, int textPosition);
ParameterDescription
textFrame

Specifies the text frame to add.

textPosition

Specifies the text position at which the text frame is to be inserted. If -1 is specified, the text frame is inserted at the current input position.

Add(TextFrame, HorizontalAlignment, int, TextFrameInsertionMode)

Inserts a text frame which is anchored to the paragraph containing the specified text position. The frame has the specified horizontal alignment. TextFrameInsertionMode.FixedOnPage and TextFrameInsertionMode.AsCharacter cannot be specified with this overload.

public bool Add(TextFrame textFrame, HorizontalAlignment alignment, int textPosition, TextFrameInsertionMode insertionMode);
ParameterDescription
textFrame

Specifies the text frame to add.

alignment

Specifies the text frame's horizontal alignment. It can be one of the HorizontalAlignment values:

ValueMeaning
LeftThe text frame is left aligned relative to the paragraph to which it is anchored.

CenteredThe text frame is centered relative to the paragraph to which it is anchored.

insertionMode

Specifies how the text flow is handled. It can be one of the values of the TextFrameInsertionMode enumeration.

Add(TextFrame, Point, int, TextFrameInsertionMode)

Inserts a text frame which is anchored to the paragraph containing the specified text position. The frame has the specified position relative to the paragraph containing its anchor position. TextFrameInsertionMode.FixedOnPage and TextFrameInsertionMode.AsCharacter cannot be specified with this overload.

public bool Add(TextFrame textFrame, Point location, int textPosition, TextFrameInsertionMode insertionMode);
ParameterDescription
textFrame

Specifies the text frame to add.

location

Specifies the location, in twips, at which the text frame is to be inserted. This is a location relative to the top left corner either of a page or of a paragraph.

Add(TextFrame, int, Point, TextFrameInsertionMode)

Inserts a text frame that has a fixed geometrical position in the document. This position is specified through a page number and a location on this page. TextFrameInsertionMode.MoveWithText and TextFrameInsertionMode.AsCharacter cannot be specified with this overload.

public bool Add(TextFrame textFrame, int pageNumber, Point location, TextFrameInsertionMode insertionMode);
ParameterDescription
textFrame

Specifies the text frame to add.

pageNumber

Specifies the number of a page beginning with 1 where the text frame is located.

public bool Add(TextFrame textFrame, Point location, TextFrameInsertionMode insertionMode);

public bool Add(TextFrame textFrame, TextFrameInsertionMode insertionMode);
ParameterDescription
textFrame

Specifies the text frame to add.

insertionMode

Examples

The following example works with text frames in the current document by using TextFrameCollection.Add.

TextFrameCollection textFrameCollection = textControl.TextFrames;

if (!textFrameCollection.Add(new TextFrame(new System.Drawing.Size(600, 400)), -1))
{
    throw new InvalidOperationException("The item could not be inserted.");
