TextElement TextElement TextElement TextElement Class
Definition
An abstract class used as the base class for the also-abstract Block and Inline classes. TextElement supports common API for classes involved in the XAML text object model, such as properties that control text size, font families and so on.

Remarks
The various properties defined by TextElement support a common API for classes involved in the XAML text object model. Here's a list of the most commonly used properties:
By setting TextElement properties, you can apply common text formatting properties to text, both in blocks and in inlines. There are also additional ways to format text, but these aren't directly supported by TextElement. Instead, you can use the attached properties of the Typography class. Typography attached properties typically support advanced typographic features or conventions, such as accessing typographic features defined at the font level that are not necessarily supported by all fonts. For example, you could set Typography.Variants as an attached property on any text block or inline, and this would influence the font-variants behavior as enabled by the particular font you chose for setting FontFamily on that text element.
TextElement doesn't inherently define a connection point to a XAML visual tree. In other words a TextElement defines text and text object model within that text, but it doesn't yet enable the display of that text within a UI. For that, you need to use one of the controls or elements that are descendants of UIElement and can be connected to the XAML tree and the root visual of your app window. There are two such elements in the Windows Runtime:
- TextBlock: Supports a text object model of inlines only with its Inlines collection.
- RichTextBlock: Supports a block text object model with its Blocks collection. The blocks can contain blocks and inlines.
Note
PasswordBox, RichEditBox and TextBox don't support a text object model that's based on TextElement. RichEditBox does enable programmatic access to a different text object model through the ITextDocument interface.
TextElement defines API that support examining the text object model as programming objects after the XAML is parsed. In particular TextElement implements Name and Language, which parallel properties of the same name on FrameworkElement. TextElement also implements FindName (a utility method for finding objects at run time based on how Name was set in initial XAML), and OnDisconnectVisualChildren (for advanced scenarios and designer support).
TextElement has four properties that provide access to TextPointer objects from within text. These properties are: ContentStart, ContentEnd, ElementStart, ElementEnd. A Windows Runtime TextPointer object gives you an entry point for traversal of content. For more info, see TextPointer.
TextElement is a class derived from DependencyObject. That means it can define dependency properties, and each of the read-write properties of TextElement is a dependency property, with its property identifier also defined by TextElement. For more info on what dependency properties enable, see Dependency properties overview.
TextElement derived classes
TextElement is the parent class for two derived classes that split the text object model into two text usage conventions: Block, and Inline. Block and Inline are both considered base classes (you don't typically see a <Block> tag in XAML) and exist in the hierarchy mainly to be the parent class of other practical text elements. For example, Block is the parent class of Paragraph. For more info on how to use block and inline elements, see Quickstart: Displaying text.

Methods
FindName(String) FindName(String) FindName(String) FindName(String)
Retrieves an object in the object model / runtime object graph by referencing the object's x:Name or Name attribute value.
public : PlatForm::Object FindName(PlatForm::String name)public object FindName(String name)Public Function FindName(name As String) As object// This API is not available in Javascript.
- name
- PlatForm::String String String String
The name of the object to retrieve.
The object that has the specified name, or null if no object is retrieved.
Remarks
FrameworkElement is the class that implements Name support for most other run-time classes, but TextElement is not a FrameworkElement derived class. TextElement supports its own Name and FindName implementations, and the underlying logic for name lookup does not differentiate between TextElement and FrameworkElement. You can use the TextElement -implemented FindName to find a named FrameworkElement, and vice versa.
Because FindName relies on all the XAML sources being parsed for the Name attributes, you should not attempt to call FindName until the XAML is loaded.
Names and FindName are influenced by the concept of a XAML namescope.
OnDisconnectVisualChildren() OnDisconnectVisualChildren() OnDisconnectVisualChildren() OnDisconnectVisualChildren()
Override this method to implement how layout and logic should behave when items are removed from a class-specific content or child property.
protected : virtual void OnDisconnectVisualChildren()protected virtual void OnDisconnectVisualChildren()Protected Overridable Function OnDisconnectVisualChildren() As void// This API is not available in Javascript.
Remarks
TextElement does not define any of the content or children properties that OnDisconnectVisualChildren might act upon. Such properties are introduced by derived classes such as Paragraph.
