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

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.

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

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

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

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

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")

MisinformedDNA — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 18:29:33 GMT

RichTextEdit should enable databinding.

Commented Issue: Internet Explorer crashes randomly

MisinformedDNA — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 18:27:34 GMT

This seems to be an issue of IE, try to use Firefox until Silverlight Beta 2 is released... Firefox didn't crash once...
The IE 7 seems to be very unstable for me, it even crashes when loading www.silverlight.net, so maybe this only applies to my Windows Vista + IE7 but I don't think so...
Comments: ** Comment from web user: MisinformedDNA **

I'm not seeing this with Vista x64 and IE7. If you are seeing IE 7 crash on silverlight.net, which doesn't have RichTextEdit, then it's not probably not an issue with RichTextEdit.

Does setting Height="Auto" solve your issue?

Hi Do we have a control which can be used as a rich text viewer? if so can you please let us know.
Thanks a bunch.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: MisinformedDNA **

If you set IsReadOnly to true, does this solve you problem? If not, what exactly are you looking for?
