Fields

Name	Value	Description
None	0	The TextPointer is adjacent to the beginning or end of content.
Text	1	The TextPointer is adjacent to text.

ElementStart	3	The TextPointer is adjacent to the opening tag of a TextElement.
ElementEnd	4	The TextPointer is adjacent to the closing tag of a TextElement.

Examples

// This method will extract and return a string that contains a representation of 
// the XAML structure of content elements in a given TextElement.

    // Position a "navigator" pointer before the opening tag of the element.
    TextPointer navigator = element.ElementStart;
