TextAnchor is the object type of the returned ResolvedAnchor if you are using sticky notes and highlights in flow or fixed documents.

TextAnchor is introduced in the Microsoft .NET Framework version 3.5. For more information, see .NET Framework Versions and Dependencies.

Consider a simple document reader application that has a comments pane. The comments pane might be a list box that displays the text from a list of annotations that are anchored to a document. If the user selects an item in the list box, then the application brings into view the paragraph in the document that the corresponding annotation object is anchored to.

The following example demonstrates how to implement the event handler of such a list box that serves as the comments pane.
