The TextView control is similar to the Label in that it provides a control that displays text which you can programmatically modify through the Text property. However, the TextView also has the ability to subdivide its content over multiple pages automatically. If the TextView is on a Panel or Form which has its Paginate property set to True, the text it contains will automatically be divided into distinct TextViewElement objects, one for each page. You can access individual TextViewElement instances using the GetElement( ) method (and supplying an index number), and you can use properties like FirstVisibleElementIndex and LastVisibleElementIndex to examine the pagination that has been applied automatically.

You can use insert markup tags directly into the text of a TextView. Supported tags include <a> (anchor), <b> (bold), <i> (italic), <br> (line break), and <p> (paragraph). These tags will be rendered in a device-independent manner, which means that a <p> could conceivably be translated into a <br> tag if required by the client device. In order to ensure compatibility across a broad range of devices, all other tags are ignored, and will never affect the control's output.
