What's New in X15
We regularly release major updates to our libraries, adding new features and responding to customer requests.
Document protection
Protected documents
Using TX Text Control ActiveX, documents can be protected by restricting the formatting and editing of content. Editable regions are exceptions within protected documents where specific users have access.
Watermarks
Watermarks in headers and footers
Content in headers and footers can overlap main text. This is typically used in letterhead templates to place an address block in a text box on the side of the main text. This content is repeated on each page dependent of the header and footer section settings.
Table pagination
Pagination in tables
The pagination settings keep with next and page break before can now be used within tables to control page breaks within a table.
Select objects
Select objects behind the text
The new SelectObjects property controls the selection of objects that are positioned behind the text.MS Word-compatible document protection and editable regions
MS Word-compatible document protection with editable regions. Using TX Text Control ActiveX X15, documents can be protected by restricting the formatting and editing of content. When protecting a document, it is possible to define whether the document is completely locked or formatting can be applied.
Editable regions are exceptions within protected documents that can be defined through a start position and a length . These regions can be nested and overlap.
Each editable region is associated with a user through the TXTextControl.EditableRegion.UserName. Only this user can edit the region when the document has been set to read-only.
Watermarks in headers and footers
Watermarks in headers and footers for letterhead templates. A highly requested feature was content in headers and footers that overlaps the main text. This is typically used in letterhead templates to place the address in a text box on the side of the main text. This content is repeated on each page and is therefore part of the header or footer text part.
Objects can be freely moved on the page and are placed behind the main text when headers and footers are deactivated. When a new page is inserted within the same section, the objects that belong to the header and footer are repeated on following pages as well.
Pagination in tables
Pagination in tables with control over page breaks. The pagination settings keep with next and page break before can now be used in tables to control page breaks within a table. The first paragraph of a table row determines how to treat the complete row. If the first paragraph of a table row has the keep with next setting, the complete table row is positioned on the same page as the following table row.
Select objects behind the text
Select objects behind the text with the new TXTextControl.SelectObjects property. The new TXTextControl.SelectObjects property controls the selection of objects which are located behind the text.
When this property is set to True, a mouse click selects the object in the background. Otherwise, when this property is set to False, text in front of the object is selected.
