Class FormElement
Represents an abstract base class for different types of form elements within a form.
Namespace: IronWord.Models.Abstract
Assembly: IronWord.dll
Syntax
public abstract class FormElement : ObjectTreating the interactive form controls of an IronWord document as one family in C# is what FormElement makes possible. It groups the form-field types under one parent so a developer can handle radio buttons and text inputs through a single reference when building or reading a fillable Word document. The base itself carries no fillable behavior of its own; it exists to give the form controls a common type.
The concrete elements that extend it are RadioButton and TextInput, and those are the types a developer instantiates and configures. A FormElement reference is what you hold when a routine should accept either control without caring which one it received, for example when iterating mixed form fields. Because the type is abstract, it is never constructed directly; you work with one of its derived controls and rely on FormElement only as the common base.
The add text how-to builds document content, and the document element tutorial explains where elements like form controls sit in the model.
