| Section Formatting |
|
A document can be split into several sections to enable different page sizes and margins and different headers and footers in the same
document. An end-user can use the new Page Setup dialog box available through the
SectionFormatDialog
method. All section attributes and headers and footers can be set either for a single section or for the complete document. The
SectionCurrent property has been implemented to specify a part of the document when the
attributes of a section are to be altered from programming code. This property can be used in conjunction
with the PageWidth, PageHeight,
PageMarginL, PageMarginT,
PageMarginR, and PageMarginB properties.
The TXStatusBar control has been extended to show the section number at the text input position. Additionally, it shows the number of pages and the number of sections contained in
the document. |
| Headers and Footers |
|
The contents and the alignment of headers and footers can be different for each section. Also each section can have a special header and
a special footer for the section's first page. If a section does not need its own header or footer, its header or footer can be connected
with the header or footer of the previous section. The HeaderFooterConnectedToPrevious property implements this feature.
The SectionCurrent property in conjunction with all Headerxxx
properties an methods can be used to alter headers and footers for a single section or the current input section. |
| WordprocessingML Format |
|
TX Text Control supports the WordprocessingML part of the Microsoft Office Open XML format. This
format is a ZIP compressed XML format for word processing and is used as standard format of Microsoft Word. A TextControl can load
and save files (.docx extension) and blocks of memory containing documents formatted with this format. The Format
parameter of the Load and Save methods accept a new
value to load and save this format. |
| Import and Export of Microsoft Word Fields |
|
TX Text Control now supports the import and export of Microsoft Word fields contained in Microsoft Word and RTF documents.
The arguments and switches of these fields are available through the FieldTypeData property,
if the field is of the type txFieldMSWord. This field type only provides an interface to retrieve and change the data and
parameters of such fields. The field logic itself is not implemented. Before loading a document, the txLoadMSWordFields
attribute of the LoadSaveAttributes property must be set to true.
The txMSWordFieldTypeNames attribute can be used to select particular types of fields.
The FieldNext method has been expanded to enable iteration through all such fields in the
document. |
| Import and Export of Heiler HighEdit Fields |
|
TX Text Control also supports the import and export of Heiler HighEdit fields contained in RTF documents. The names
of these fields are available through the FieldTypeData property, if the field is of the
type txFieldHighEdit. Before loading a document, the txLoadHighEditFields
attribute of the LoadSaveAttribute property must be set to true.
The FieldNext method has been expanded to enable iteration through all such fields in the
document. |
| Background Printing |
|
Additional contents such as images or watermarks can be printed on a page of a document. A
TXTextControl control prints transparently on top of some output that has been added through an application before
the PrintPage method is called. |
