TX Text Control ActiveX offers an Offset parameter to export a document with a specific file offset position. This offset can be used to save a custom file header that could contain additional information. Many customers have been asking how to open these documents with TX Text Control .NET for Windows Forms.

Dim FileStream As System.IO.FileStream = newFile.OpenRead()
FileStream.Position = 30
