System.Windows.ContentElement
System.Windows.FrameworkContentElementFrameworkContentElement is the
base class of all types in WPF's text object model. Because this class
does not derive from Visual, elements
of this type do not generate their own appearance. Instead, a tree of
content elements is merely a description of some textual content, and it
requires some element derived from Visual to present the content. WPF provides
four such elements. TextBlock
presents simple textual content, whereas the three flow document
readers—FlowDocumentScrollViewer,
FlowDocumentPageViewer, and FlowDocumentReader—present larger bodies of
text.
Chapter 14 describes the text object model and the visual elements that can present text.
