Reporting and Mail Merge
Text Control Reporting combines the power of a reporting tool and an easy-to-use WYSIWYG word processor - fully programmable and embeddable in your Windows Forms application.

Based on MS Word compatible report templates, mail merge and table reports to master-detail, side-by-side and sub-reports can be created. Nested repeating blocks with master-detail relationship views can be easily inserted. It doesn't matter what's repeated in the block: A table row, paragraphs, images or text frames. There are no limits.

Fully Featured Ribbon Control
TX Text Control .NET for Windows Forms is shipped with it's own Windows Forms Ribbon control and ready-to-use Ribbon tabs for all typical tasks of TX Text Control. Essentially, you can build our demo TX Text Control Words within seconds without writing a single line of code.

The ribbon tabs are completely pre-designed, can be simply added to a Text Control Ribbon control and used out-of-the-box when connected to a Text Control. The ribbon tabs can be added to the ribbon control using drag and drop or using a Visual Studio designer smart tag.

Import Adobe PDF Documents
TX Text Control is able to import "born digital" PDF documents, so that you can view, edit or convert these files. The PDF document is imported and can be modified just like any other format such as DOC or DOCX. The fully featured API can be used to change the content or to search on the document.

Import and edit PDF files for which the original word processing source files are missing and reuse its content.

MS Word Compatible File Formats
TX Text Control .NET for Windows Forms supports a wide range of word processing formats (RTF, DOC, DOCX, HTML, XML, PDF) and image file formats (GIF, PNG, JPG, BMP, WMF, EMF, TIF).

Convert and modify different document types to a standardized style or merge various document types into one unified document. Provide your users an option to modify MS Word documents and to create Adobe PDF documents right in your Windows Forms application.

Shapes and Drawings
MS Word compatible drawings and shapes can be inserted and edited. Shapes can be inserted as single objects into TX Text Control and can be completely customized using the ribbon interface, a ready-to-use dialog box and programmatically using the TX Text Control API.

When activating drawing objects, a fully featured editor is available to modify the shape. Shape objects can be also grouped in a Drawing Canvas and modified as a group. All shape types are compatible to MS Word and can be imported and exported from and to supported formats.

Page Section Support
Documents can be divided into an unlimited number of different sections, each one of which may be individually formatted. TX Text Control is shipped with a dialog box that can be used to manipulate the section settings.

Sections enables users to create documents with mixed page orientation, so that parts are inserted as portrait and other parts as landscape. It is possible to add different headers and footers to specific sections or you can include page numbering only for the main part of a document and omit it in an appendix.

DPI Aware Applications
Display technology has improved by adding more pixels into the available physical space on monitor panels. The result is that the dots-per-inch (DPI) of modern displays is way higher. For years, 96 pixels was the magical number, but nowadays 300 DPI is no longer an exception.

TX Text Control .NET for Windows Forms X17 implements DPI aware support for all controls including the document itself, rulers, status bars and the ribbon to scale pixel-perfect and to provide a crystal clear visual experience.

High Resolution Icon Set
We created a new, vector-based icon set with 800+ illustrations for our integrated button and ribbon bars. Depending on the selected DPI, the pixel-perfect bitmap in the requested size and resolution is used for all various ribbon tabs and groups.

With TX Text Control .NET for Windows Forms X17, you can upgrade your applications to support high resolutions without any additional efforts.

Resource Provider
The new TXTextControl.Windows.Forms.ResourceProvider gives access to the all high resolution images used in the built-in ribbon tabs and toolbars. The ResourceProvider is also returning other built-in resources such as item texts and tooltips.

This way, you can use all TX Text Control resources in other user interfaces to provide a consistent user experience. The ResourceProvider allows developers to request a specific resource with a custom resolution, a culture and colors for icons that provide color settings such as "Text Color" or "Text Highlight Color".

Visual Studio 2019 Compatibility
We are committed to make sure that our products work seamlessly with new versions of Visual Studio. TX Text Control .NET for Windows Forms X17 is 100% compatible with Visual Studio 2019.

We have implemented and tested our setups, the toolbox support, help integration, IntelliSense support and many more features to guarantee compatibility with our products.

Access TextControl with UI Automation
TX Text Control .NET for Windows Forms X17 supports various UI Automation interfaces to retrieve the textual content including the corresponding format and style attributes from an application that implements TX Text Control. This enables external applications such as screen reader or dictation software to access the content programmatically from outside the application.

Additionally, UI testing can be implemented based on UI Automation interfaces to automate UI related tests.

Text Field Highlight Options
Text fields, such as HypertextLinks, ApplicationFields and PageNumberFields, can be highlighted with a highlight color using the TXTextControl.TextField.HighlightMode property. Whether a field is highlighted can be defined and set to Always, Never or Activated. Similar to SubTextParts, the highlight color can have an alpha channel for transparency.

Each field can be highlighted with a different color which enables you to distinguish between different field types.

Merge Field Navigator Sidebar
The RibbonReportingTab can be connected with the new FieldNavigator sidebar to show the structure of merge fields and nested merge blocks.

Merge field names can be also changed in the tree view directly by clicking them twice or pressing F2. A double-click on a merge field node opens the appropriate merge field dialog. Additionally, the sidebar can be used to search for merge field names in the list of fields.
