#Remarks

The following topic shows how to enable Text Editor functionality on different platforms: Enable Text Editor Functionality.

When registered, TextBoxItemEditorExtension adds the Edit Text button that invokes the Rich Text Editor (RichEdit). The button is available in two locations:

To configure and customize the extension, refer to the TextBoxItemEditorExtensionOptions class that contains options of the Text Box extension.
