# IFormattedText Interface

> The IFormattedText interface contains properties and methods common to all text parts in a TX Text Control document. A TX Text Control document consists of the document's main text and additional pieces of text like text frames, headers and footers and footnote sections. A single text part has lines, paragraphs, characters and a selection which can be used to assign character and paragraph formatting attributes to a piece of text. Additionally a text part can contain tables, images, text fields, hypertext links and misspelled words. The following classes implement this interface: TextControl, ServerTextControl, WPF.TextControl, TextFrame, HeaderFooter, MainText, FootnoteSection and FootnoteText.

### Description

The IFormattedText interface contains properties and methods common to all text parts in a TX Text Control document. A TX Text Control document consists of the document's main text and additional pieces of text like text frames, headers and footers and footnote sections. A single text part has lines, paragraphs, characters and a selection which can be used to assign character and paragraph formatting attributes to a piece of text. Additionally a text part can contain tables, images, text fields, hypertext links and misspelled words. The following classes implement this interface: [TextControl](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol-wpf/textcontrol/llms-full.txt), [ServerTextControl](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol/servertextcontrol/llms-full.txt), [WPF.TextControl](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol-wpf/textcontrol/llms-full.txt), [TextFrame](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol/textframe/llms-full.txt), [HeaderFooter](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol/headerfooter/llms-full.txt), [MainText](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol/maintext/llms-full.txt), [FootnoteSection](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol/footnotesection/llms-full.txt) and [FootnoteText](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol/footnotetext/llms-full.txt).

### Syntax

```csharp
public interface IFormattedText
```

```vbnet
Public Interface IFormattedText
```

### Examples

The following example shows how to loop through all text parts to get the first line of each part.

```csharp
foreach (object obj in textControl1.TextParts)
{
	Console.WriteLine("First Line: " + ((IFormattedText)obj).Lines[1].Text);
}
```

The following example applies bold formatting through the iformatted text's selection.

```csharp
Selection formattedSelection = iFormattedText.Selection;
formattedSelection.Bold = true;
iFormattedText.Selection = formattedSelection;
```

```vbnet
Dim formattedSelection As Selection = iFormattedText.Selection
formattedSelection.Bold = True
iFormattedText.Selection = formattedSelection
```
