Thread Safety

Members of this class are thread safe if you previously called IXRApplication::CreateHostFromXaml and supplied it with an XRWindowCreateParams structure that has AllowsMultipleThreadAccess set to true.

Remarks

You can enable multiline text in a text box control by using IXRTextBox::SetAcceptsReturn.

You might want to use a text box to display text, but you might not want users to be able to edit the text. To prevent users from doing this, you can call IXRTextBox::SetIsReadOnly. If you pass in true to this method, edit commands are not supported, and the KeyUp and KeyDown events are specified as handled.

If you must have formatted text that cannot be edited by the user, use the IXRTextBlock class instead. If you must have an editable text box that accepts passwords or other input, use the IXRPasswordBox class instead.

You can modify the border of a text box by using the inherited methods IXRControl::SetBorderThickness and IXRControl::SetBorderBrush.

When you create a class instance, use an IXRTextBoxPtr smart pointer instead of a raw interface pointer. For more information, see XRPtr<Interface>.

You can also define a text box control in Microsoft Silverlight 3 XAML. For information about the differences between XAML in XAML for Windows Embedded and Silverlight 3, see Differences Between Microsoft Silverlight 3 and XAML for Windows Embedded. For more information about how to define this element in the source XAML for your application, see the TextBox Class on MSDN.
