Sneak Peek X16: New Customizable Sidebar Controls

The TextControl class implements a Windows Forms control with high-level text editing features. or TXTextControl.WPF.TextControl class ╰ TX Text Control .NET for WPF
╰ WPF Namespace
╰ TextControl Class
The WPF.TextControl class class implements a control with high-level text editing features. to work out-of-the-box.
