Block Text Selection
Ability to select a rectangular block of text, as in MS Word, by holding down the ALT key.
Compatibility with nested Content Controls
I would like to propose support for nested content controls. The requirement is the capability to access every Content Control nested inside a specific Parent Content Control and update its value.
Add meta data to documents when saving
It would be great to have the possibility to add meta data to PDF and Word Documents when they get saved (like the author or company field that you can view in the file properties). Some document management systems can automatically process those entries and some even reject files that don't have meta data!Technically, this could be just anoth…
Support transparent images
TXTextControl does not seem to respect the transparency (alpha) channel when rendering images. We would like to be able to add transparent images to documents for a watermark effect using the "above the text" option, and have the text or any tables show through. In TextControl, if the "above the text" option is used, the image completely obscures t…
Provide an option to see the cursor when editor is not in focus
In integration with a speech recognition software, many users add text to the editor without the editor being in focus. The users still want to know where is the current cursor. Currently there is no such option in the TX editor.
API to mark words with squiggly underline
We wanted to offer a feature request- API to mark words with squiggly underline. We are considering using third-party software for various text corrections (for instance grammar and NLP based text corrections).

grammar check
We wanted to offer a feature request- adding Grammar Check to the TX Spell. We think that offering the users the option to mark wrong grammar in the document will greatly increase their user experience.Thanks
Character spacing
As there are inconsistencies in character spacing between different word processing tools, I suggest, just like in the Microsoft Word, to add character spacing control. It can be placed in the Character or Font menu. By being able to modify character and line spacing it would be possible to have finer control over document layout.
Ability to import MS Word comments
I would like to have the ability to import/view/hide/edit/... MS Word comments.Thanks
Ability to pause Undo/Redo
I would like the ability to pause the undo/redo stack without clearing it. This would be helpful for me because what I like to do is insert tables with a printable border already in place. If I do this currently, the undo button will simply undo each border around each cell in the table separately. The only way I can get around this is to clear the…
To use TXTextControl v25 away from Visual Studio, the machine running the code needs Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 installed. In a lot of cases this may already be in place, but in others (e.g. Azure VMs running Server 2012 R2 and Azure App Services), then this won't necessarily be the case, resulting in "Could not load…
