Syntax
public abstract class TextContentElement : ContentElement, ICloneableElement, IContentElement, ITextContentElement, IHasTextStyle

Searching and editing the text on a single styled element runs through TextContentElement. It is the abstract base for a stylable piece of text, exposing the string itself plus the find-and-replace operations a developer uses to update wording inside a presentation without rebuilding the element.

The concrete element that extends it in IronPPT is Text, so most code works with a Text instance and inherits this surface. The Text property is the string the element carries, and TextStyle is the ITextStyle that formats it. Find searches the text for a term and returns the matching index positions as a List<int>, with optional RegexOptions, whole-word, and case-sensitive flags. Replace swaps one term for another using the same options and returns the updated ITextContentElement, so a replace can be chained. ToString returns the element's text for quick inspection. Because the base is abstract, you reach these members through the derived Text element rather than constructing the base directly.

Text element = new Text();
element.Text = "Draft report";
element.Replace("Draft", "Final");

The add text how-to covers placing text on a slide, and the slide element tutorial puts text elements in the wider slide model.
