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 :(

You need to add the namespace to the UserControl XAML so it can recognize where to find the control.

I have RTF data that I want to display, so I am using the RichTextEdit. The problem is I don't see an obvious property that I databind to for displaying the data. There is no Text or Value property. Can someone tell me the property to bind to?

New Post: RTF Format

dtroller — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 14:43:53 GMT

Hi, I just looked quickly at the control and did not seem to find any mention of using the content outside of the editor itself.
What I mean by that is that I want to be able to export my content into RTF format, for display in a report for example.

I would be pretty happy with a server-side conversion process. I can easily store an RTF copy of the content for reporting purposes if that is the only solution.

Is this possible today with this control?
If not, does anyone know about any Silverlight control that achieves this ?

Dewey — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 22:01:36 GMT

Hi Chris,

First, I would like to say that it works fine in RC0, with no changes required, just a recompile.

Secondly, I would like to have the text only selectable, but not editable, like text in an html page. Is there a way to do this? I tried read only, but you can't select the text, and I can't see a way to prevent the engine from echoing the key strokes.

Thanks.

New Post: how to unselect movecursor()?

vgopinath — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 23:30:02 GMT

Hi,

First my real appreaciation 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

New Post: Event when Vertical text overflows m_scroll Viewport

Skiazo — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 14:43:50 GMT

Your suggestion on using the sizechanged worked great!

As for re-parenting, I think that could easily qualify as one of the best ideas I have ever heard. That should simplify things a great deal.
I will give that a shot.

Thank you so much for your time and great suggestions!

Puhh...

I Don't think it's the best idea to use multiple rich text edits to do this... Maybe you should think about letting Update() render the content to "m_Surface" and then just divide it into as much subsurfaces as you need (add the code directly after the last instruction in Update()). I am not really sure but as LineItems contains all the references and "m_Surface" is just a parent for displaying it should cause no trouble by re-parenting all childs in "m_Surface" to multiple surfaces on your cube according to their calculated location within the "m_Surface"...

Skiazo — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 20:01:21 GMT

Thanks for your time Chris!

The Why:
I would like to be able to prevent vertical scrolling and, as an alternative, tile multiple RichTextEdits with subsets of text if the text passed in was too large to display in it's height. For an example perhaps have the RichTextEdit on the side of a cube and if the text overflows, create a new RichTextEdit and add it to a canvas on another side of a cube. I didn't think I would be able to tell how much the visual space the Serialized text would fill without actually letting the control apply the formatting first but perhaps there would be a way to tell prior to adding it to a RichTextEdit.

I want to say I checked the m_Scroll.ComputedVerticalScrollBarVisibility and it was true in all cases but I was checking in the other methods. I have not tried checking in the m_surface sizecahnged event though so that may be why. I will try your suggestions and let you know.

Thanks again!

Edit:
Just to clarify - in the cube example above the RichTextEdit would be ReadOnly and used to display what was serialized from a previous RichTextEdit that was stored in a database.

ChristophHusse — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 14:54:04 GMT

Why would you need to do this?

Maybe you could intercept the SizeChanged event of "m_Surface" and compare the "m_Surface.ActualHeight" to the "m_Scroll.Height". In my opinion it should also be enough to just check the "m_Scroll.ComputedVerticalScrollBarVisibility" in the mentioned event...

New Post: Event when Vertical text overflows m_scroll Viewport

Skiazo — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 02:54:23 GMT

I have been trying to find a way to fire an event (custom event) when the vertical text flows past the m_scroll...., I think it is called a viewport. I stubbed out a new event and was all ready to go when I realized I have no idea how to determine if a "line" is past the normal viewport. I figured the best place to check would most likely be in the RichTextBox Update method or the InternalInsertString method. I tried checking visibility, m_Scroll.ComputedVerticalScrollBarVisibility, etc. and no property I could think of was giving me any love. Visual elements are a rather new concept to me as I have been stuck in blah HTML world for so long! Any suggestions on where and what properties I could check to determine that text has verticaly overlfowed would be a huge help.

Thank you for your time!
