Sophisticated word processing applications requires a user-friendly interface. Sometimes, it is required that the user is able to draw text frames directly on the document.
TX Text Control does not provide a built-in interface to draw the text frames, but it is really simple to use a Panel control to simulate such behavior. By clicking on the menu item, the cursor switches to a cross hair which indicates that a text frame can be drawn.
By clicking somewhere in the document, the user can start to draw the frame to its desired size.
When the mouse button is released, the shape control will be replaced by a text frame at the same position and with the same size.
You can download the fully functional sample project for Visual Basic .NET to test this sample application for yourself. The minimum requirements for this sample application are TX Text Control .NET trial version and Visual Studio .NET 2003.
