How to Build a Context Formatting Bar
This sample replicates the floating formatting bar introduced in Microsoft Word. When the mouse hovers over selected text, a toolbar with common options like bold and italic fades in near the selection. The implementation uses TX Text Control .NET for Windows Forms as the editor.
The latest beta implementation of Microsoft Word introduces a new formatting bar that is displayed where it is required. If a part of some text is selected, a small button bar with the most important formatting features, such as bold or italic, is displayed.
This sample shows how to implement such a context formatting bar, complete with fading effects. The formatting bar fades in when the mouse moves over the selected text.
