Inserting a Page Break Programmatically
Page breaks can be inserted programmatically in TX Text Control .NET for Windows Forms by writing the form feed character to Selection.Text. Unlike keyboard-inserted breaks, code-inserted breaks do not auto-scroll, so the ScrollLocation property repositions the viewport afterward.
I have received several inquiries on how to programatically insert a page break using TX Text Control .NET for Windows Forms. Generally, this is quite simple: Just insert the control character for a page break using the Selection.Text property:
C#:
textControl1.Selection.Text = "";VB .NET:
TextControl1.Selection.Text = Chr(12)If you insert a page break using the key combination CTRL + ENTER, TX Text Control scrolls automatically to this new input position. TX Text Control won't scroll automatically, if you insert a page break by code as this might be not the intention of the developer.
To scroll to the new input position, the ScrollLocation property can be used:
C#:
private void InsertPageBreak()
{
textControl1.Selection.Text = "";
System.Drawing.Point ScrollPosition = new Point(0, textControl1.InputPosition.Location.Y);
textControl1.ScrollLocation = ScrollPosition;
textControl1.Focus();
}VB .NET:
Private Sub InsertPageBreak()
TextControl1.Selection.Text = Chr(12)
Dim ScrollPosition As New System.Drawing.Point(0, TextControl1.InputPosition.Location.Y)
TextControl1.ScrollLocation = ScrollPosition
TextControl1.Focus()
