System.Windows.Forms 2.0.0.0 System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripControlHost is the optimized for hosting in a . A subset of the hosted control's properties and events are exposed at the level, but the underlying control is fully accessible through the property. The control allows the user to enter text in an application. This control has additional functionality that is not found in the standard Windows text box control, including multiline editing. Typically, a control is used to display a single line of text or accept it as input. You can use the to enable multiple lines of text to be displayed or entered. Set the and properties to true to allow greater text manipulation in a multiline control. You can limit the amount of text entered into a control by setting the property to a specific number of characters. Use the property to allow the user to type only uppercase, only lowercase, or a combination of uppercase and lowercase characters into the control. To restrict text from being entered in a control, you can create an event handler for the event in order to validate each character entered in the control. You can also restrict all entry of data in a control by setting the property to true.

Specifies that the value of the property is zero so that no characters are selected in the control.

Method 2.0.0.0 System.Char If the location specified in the parameter is outside the client area of the control, the first character of the string closest to the point specified in is returned. You can use this method to determine which characters are located near a specific point within the control. You can then use this value to perform operations on the text at that location. If the specified location in the parameter is located on the right side of the client area of the control, the last character of the string closest to the point specified in is returned.

Retrieves the character that is closest to the specified location within the control.

The character at the specified location. The location from which to seek the nearest character. Method 2.0.0.0 System.Int32 This method returns the character index that is closest to the position specified in the parameter. The character index is a zero-based index of text in the control, including spaces. You can use this method to determine where in the text the user has the mouse over by passing the mouse coordinates to this method. This can be useful if you want to perform tasks when the mouse pointer hovers over a word in the text of the control.

Retrieves the index of the character nearest to the specified location.

The zero-based character index at the specified location. The location to search. Method 2.0.0.0 System.Int32 If the parameter is negative, returns 0. If the parameter exceeds the number of lines in the control, returns the first character index for the last line in the control. returns the first character index of a physical line. The physical line is the displayed line, not the assigned line. The number of displayed lines can be greater than the number of assigned lines due to word wrap. For example, if you assign two long lines to a control and set and to true, the two long assigned lines result in four physical (or displayed lines).

Retrieves the index of the first character of a given line.

The zero-based character index in the specified line. The line for which to get the index of its first character. Method 2.0.0.0 System.Int32 To be added.

Retrieves the index of the first character of the current line.

The zero-based character index in the current line. Method 2.0.0.0 System.Int32 This method enables you to determine the line number based on the character index specified in the parameter of the method. The first line of text in the control returns the value zero. The method returns the physical line number where the indexed character is located within the control. For example, if a portion of the first logical line of text in the control wraps to the next line, the method returns 1 if the character at the specified character index has wrapped to the second physical line. If is set to false, no portion of the line wraps to the next, and the method returns 0 for the specified character index. You can use this method to determine which line a specific character index is located within. For example, after calling the method to search for text, you can obtain the character index to where the search results are found. You can call this method with the character index returned by the method to determine which line the word was found. If the character index specified in the parameter is beyond the available number of lines contained within the control, the last line number is returned.

Retrieves the line number from the specified character position within the text of the control.

The zero-based line number in which the character index is located. The character index position to search. Method 2.0.0.0 System.Drawing.Point This method enables you to determine where in the control a specific character index is located. You can use this method for such tasks as displaying shortcut menu items or help information for a word in the control. For example, if you wanted to display a menu of options to the user when the user right clicks on a word in the control, you can use this method to determine the position of the word to properly display a control.

Retrieves the location within the control at the specified character index.

The location of the specified character. The index of the character for which to retrieve the location. Method System.Drawing.Size To be added.
