Silverlight rich text editor

New Post: Copy Paste

adriaandavel — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 07:37:48 GMT

Ok, maybe I'm missing the plot here...

I select a pice of text, format it, copy it, but when I paste it im Word I just get plain text...

I need to give my users something they can paste in MS Word and type up a report based on the results in my application, is this what this control is intended for?

New Post: Edit style?

diosloco — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 22:53:16 GMT

The project is no longer under active development or maintence. I tried to be that developer, but it turned out to be so buggy that I didn't want to deal with it anymore. One thing to note is that the last release from the original author was Silverlight 2 Beta 2 and some things broke in between the beta and RTM.

I found a free RichTextBox control at http://vectorlight.net/. So far it has met my needs though I haven't investigated it thouroughly. It certainly is much better than the one here.

Hello, I've tried this component, and it's great. However, how can I edit the style? I would like to change scroll bars and background..
But when i open ScrollViewer in Blend, I get Invalid XAML message :(

Commented Issue: How can I get the actual height of RichText

RajuHosamani — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 12:02:10 GMT

Dear!

After I insert a paragraph, some buttons, some images to rich text, the rich text show the vertical scrollbar. Now I don't want to show the vertical scrollbar but change the height of rich text to make it fit the text

How can I do that?

assignment to m_Scroll.Height give Error message "Value does not fall within the expected range" in update method of RichTextEdit class.

Commented Issue: Import/Export content into RTF format

RajuHosamani — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 11:45:10 GMT

A user should be able to take a document in RTF format, import it and display the document in RichTextEdit. They should also be able to export to an RTF document. This could potentailly just be a property. It may also not be able to include all object types so would be lossy.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: RajuHosamani **

Can it be possible in near future to get document in RTF format.

Created Issue: There is no relative location of a selected string

MisinformedDNA — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 22:48:29 GMT

When selecting text with richText.QuerySelectionText(), the "SelectionStart" property always returns 0. (There are edge cases where this isn't true.) There should be a way to select text and from there no where it was selected from.

Scenario: User selects a sentence from a paragraph. Developer wants to know what paragraph it was selected from.

Created Issue: SelectionStart throws exception after selecting an object & text

MisinformedDNA — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 22:20:43 GMT

Unit test SelectObjectAndTextTest fails.

Repro:

Insert an object
Insert a string
Select all
textEdit.QuerySelectionText().SelectionStart

EXPECTED: a value
ACTUAL: ArgumentOutOfRangeException

I'm not sure what SelectionStart should return. According to my tests, with no objects it always returns 0. I'm pretty sure it should be 0, but I am not sure when the exception should get thrown. Don't want to fix one and break another.

Calling QuerySelectionText().SelectionStart when no text is selected should return the position of the cursor.

Closed Issue: Moving mouse over RichTextEdit box takes focus

MisinformedDNA — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 16:16:00 GMT

Hi,

First my real appreciation for a wonderful RTF for SL, Great Control.

After [programatically!] inserting a lengthy text (Scroll bar apprears), the mouse cursor is moved to the end of the text, which scrolls the text all the way down. Now, using

RichEdit.QueryText().MoveCursor(0); --> pushes the cursor to top of the RTF, but then i cannot set focus on any other controls on the page? Even after manually focussing other controls [like textbox] when i move the
mouse over the RTF, the focus is back to RTF Control?

Is there a way to unfocus()?

Thanks,

Gopi
Comments: Fixed in 18295. Moving the mouse over the RichTextEdit box no longer takes focus. This behavior is similar to how TextBox works.

Closed Issue: Selectable text in ReadOnly state

MisinformedDNA — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 16:14:39 GMT

A RichTextBox might be used for a news article and may want to allow the text to be selectable.

Proposed solution: The current defaults for RichTextEdit are editable and selectable. Making it read only, makes it non-selectable. We should seperate these into IsReadOnly and IsSelectable. This would be a breaking change on functionality.
Comments: Fixed in #18295. Selection and unselection of text and objects now only possible when IsSelectable is true.

Closed Issue: Copy throws an exception when copying objects

MisinformedDNA — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 00:50:30 GMT

Copying text with objects

ACTUAL: Throws an exception.
EXPECTED: At a minimum, ignores the objects and only copies the text.
Comments: Fixed in change set 18246.

Actually all copying (using ctrl-c) was broken due to a breaking change in Silverlight from Beta 2 to RTM. (See http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/f/e/6fe1f43d-9d0c-4346-ad08-602df9bcb3cf/BreakingChangesBetweenBeta2andRelease.doc, Section "KeyDown Sent Synchronously")
