Class ControlChar

java.lang.Object
    extended by com.aspose.words.ControlChar

public abstract class ControlChar 
extends java.lang.Object

Utility class containing constants. Control characters often encountered in documents.

To learn more, visit the https://docs.aspose.com/words/net/working-with-control-characters/Working With Control Characters documentation article.

 Provides both char and string versions of the same constants. For example: string LINE_BREAK and char LINE_BREAK_CHAR have the same value.

Example:

Shows how to use control characters.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

// Insert paragraphs with text with DocumentBuilder.
builder.writeln("Hello world!");
builder.writeln("Hello again!");

// Converting the document to text form reveals that control characters
// represent some of the document's structural elements, such as page breaks.
Assert.assertEquals(MessageFormat.format("Hello world!{0}", ControlChar.CR) +
        MessageFormat.format("Hello again!{0}", ControlChar.CR) +
        ControlChar.PAGE_BREAK, doc.getText());

// When converting a document to string form,
// we can omit some of the control characters with the Trim method.
Assert.assertEquals(MessageFormat.format("Hello world!{0}", ControlChar.CR) +
        "Hello again!", doc.getText().trim());

DEFAULT_TEXT_INPUT_CHAR

public static final char DEFAULT_TEXT_INPUT_CHAR
This is the "o" character used as a default value in text input form fields.

Example:

Shows how to add various control characters to a document.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
