I am currently working on new samples and ideas for our new BrowserTextControl that is part of TX Text Control .NET Server. In one of these samples, I needed a field with a fixed length.
Sometimes, text fields must be enhanced for different applications. Consider a currency text field in an invoice or quotation that checks it's own validity.
Or a field that allows only digits instead of letters.
I have made a new sample that illustrates how to create a new text field class that offers a field with a fixed length. Missing characters in the field are filled up with a fill character like a dot ('.') or an 'x'. This class inherits all properties and methods from the base class TextField.

Next: I want to add properties to TextField by creating a new class which inherits from TextField. But of course, when I Add an
instance of my "PersonalTextField" to athe TextFieldsCollection I does'not work. My PersonalTextField is casted to an
ordinary TextField!! It would be a huge work (and probably impossible) to implement new classes for TextFieldsCollection and
hence for TextFrame.TextFieldsCollection and so on... and so on... Any idea?...
