Shape.TextBox Property

Provides access to text box content.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.API.Native

Assembly: DevExpress.RichEdit.v19.1.Core.dll

Declaration

C#

TextBox TextBox { get; }

VB.NET

ReadOnly Property TextBox As TextBox

Property Value

Type	Description
TextBox	A SubDocument interface that exposes the content of a text box.

Remarks

To distinguish between a text box and a floating picture in code, examine the Shape.TextBox and Shape.Picture properties. If the Shape.TextBox is not null, the shape is the text box.

The following code rotates text boxes and resizes floating pictures.

C#

Document document = server.Document;
document.LoadDocument("Documents\\Grimm.docx", DocumentFormat.OpenXml);
foreach (Shape s in document.Shapes)
{
    // Rotate a text box and resize a floating picture.
    if (s.TextBox == null)
    {
        s.ScaleX = 0.1f;
        s.ScaleY = 0.1f;
    }
    else
    {
        s.RotationAngle = 45;
    }
}

VB.NET

Dim document As Document = server.Document
document.LoadDocument("Documents\Grimm.docx", DocumentFormat.OpenXml)
For Each s As Shape In document.Shapes
    ' Rotate a text box and resize a floating picture.
    If s.TextBox Is Nothing Then
        s.ScaleX = 0.1F
        s.ScaleY = 0.1F
    Else
        s.RotationAngle = 45
    End If
Next s
