**Sneak Peek X12: TX Text Control .NET for Windows Forms**

This article describes upcoming features that will be part of the next version of TX Text Control.

We already presented improvements of the upcoming WPF and ASP.NET products including a [new WPF rendering engine](https://www.textcontrol.com/blog/2015/02/23/sneak-peek-tx-text-control-net-for-wpf-x12/llms-full.txt) and [improvements of the HTML5 based editor](https://www.textcontrol.com/blog/2015/01/26/roadmap-x12-webtextcontrol-enhancements-in-detail/llms-full.txt).

Today, we would like to introduce the *Field Navigation Panel* of TX Text Control Words - the template designer application for TX Text Control X12.

This panel allows an easy navigation through all fields and merge blocks. Two different tab pages list all merge fields or all merge blocks and the contained fields within that block:

In the following screenshot, you can also see that fields can be renamed directly in the tree view:

Especially with complex templates including nested repeating blocks, the field navigation panel helps to keep an overview, even with complex master-detail templates. The following screenshot shows nested blocks in the tree view:
