Windows.UI.Text.Core Namespace

Provides types for accessing the Windows core text APIs and the text input server. Windows core text is a client-server system that centralizes the processing of keyboard input into a single server. You can use it to manipulate the edit buffer of your custom text input control; the text input server ensures that the contents of your text input control and the contents of its own edit buffer are always in sync via an asynchronous communication channel between the application and the server.

Structs

CoreTextRange

Defines a range of text inside a text input control.

Enums

CoreTextFormatUpdatingReason	Defines constants that specify the set of state applied during text composition.
CoreTextFormatUpdatingResult	Defines constants that specify the result of handling the FormatUpdating event.
CoreTextInputPaneDisplayPolicy	Defines constants that specify whether the input pane should be shown automatically when focus enters your text input control.
CoreTextInputScope	Defines constants that specify the set of input scope names. Input scope is used by the text input server and input processors to determine the layout of the Soft Input Panel (SIP), and what type of language model to use.
