Syntax

public class TextInput : FormElement

TextInput is the free-text form field you add to a Word document when a reader is expected to type a value, such as a name, date, or comment on a fillable form. It represents one text-entry control in the document's form, sitting alongside the other form elements a template offers.

A TextInput is a FormElement, the same family as RadioButton, so it goes into the document's form area where elements are collected. You create one with its default constructor and add it where the form is built, and IronWord renders it as an editable text field in the saved file. As a form-element marker it carries no configuration of its own beyond what the base form element and the surrounding document provide, so the work is in placing it where the input belongs rather than tuning many properties. Use it whenever a form needs an open text response rather than a fixed choice, and pair it with the choice-style elements when a template mixes typed answers and selections.

The add text how-to covers writing text into a document, and the document element tutorial shows how form and content elements fit the model.
