14.1.2.22 textbox (Text Box)

This element is used to define text that appears inside the shape. This text can contain rich formatting and is rendered to fit inside the textboxrect defined by the path element (§14.1.2.14).

[Example:

<v:shape style="width=200;height=200" coordsize="400,400" 
  fillcolor="yellow" strokecolor="maroon" 
  path="m 119,0 l 148,86 238,86 166,140 192,226 119,175 46,226 
  72,140 0,86 90,86 x e">
  <v:textbox inset="32pt,35pt,,">VML</v:textbox>
</v:shape>

Attributes

Description

id (Unique Identifier)

Specifies a unique identifier that can be used to reference a VML object.

Default is no value.

[Example:

<v:shape  id="myShape"  >
</v:shape>

end example]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the W3C XML Schema string datatype.

inset (Text Box Inset)

Specifies inner margin values for textbox text. Default is "0.1in, 0.05in, 0.1in, 0.05in". Missing values are set to the default. This is used if insetmode is custom.

The internal text margin value is specified as a string containing four values, each separated by commas or spaces. The values measure inset from the left, top, right, and bottom edges of the box specified by the textboxrect attribute of the path element (§14.1.2.14).

[Example: The text is set toward the lower right of a small square:

<v:textbox inset="20pt,30pt,10pt,10pt">
  VML</v:textbox>
DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Vml.TextBox-image002

end example]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the W3C XML Schema string datatype.

insetmode (Text Inset Mode)

Namespace: urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office

Specifies whether the application calculates the internal text margin instead of using the inset attribute. Default is custom.

[Example:

<v:textbox  o:insetmode="auto"  >
</v:textbox>

end example]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_InsetMode simple type (§14.2.3.17).

singleclick (Text Box Single-Click Selection Toggle)

Namespace: urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office

Specifies whether text is selectable with a single click. Default is false.

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_TrueFalse simple type (§15.1.2.5).

style (Shape Styling Properties)

Specifies the CSS2 styling properties of the shape. The CSS2 (Cascading Style Sheets, Level 2) specification, a Recommendation of the World Wide Web Consortium, is available here: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2.

This attribute uses a semi-colon delimited list of “name:value” pairs, the syntax defined by section 4.1.8 of the CSS2 specification for grouped declarations (without the surrounding braces). The following tables define the allowed properties and the VML treatment of each.

[Example:

<v:shape  style=’position:absolute;width:100pt;height:50pt’  >
</v:shape>

end example]
