ApplicationCommands Cut/Copy

[luc]

Hi,

I have a very small program with a radmenu and radrichtextbox to demonstrate the use of applicationCommands.

 

 

 <Grid>

 <Grid.RowDefinitions>

 <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />

 <RowDefinition />

 </Grid.RowDefinitions>

 <telerik:RadMenu>

 <telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Edit">

 <telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Cut" Command="ApplicationCommands.Cut"/>

 <telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Paste" Command="ApplicationCommands.Paste"/>

 </telerik:RadMenuItem>

 </telerik:RadMenu>

 <telerik:RadRichTextBox Grid.Row="1"/>

 </Grid>

 

Paste commands work very nice, but i'm not able to use Cut or copy commands when i make a selection in the richtextbox. What's is wrong ?

Hi Luc,

RadRichTextBox does not work with the ApplicationCommands in WPF. It has its own implementations of clipboard commands that support rich text copy and paste and are routed commands.
In order to use rich text copy/paste, you just have to add a reference to Telerik.Windows.Documents.FormatProviders.Html or ~.Rtf. After that, you can bind the RadMenuItems to the respective commands like this:

<Grid>
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
        <RowDefinition />
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>
    <telerik:RadMenu DataContext="{Binding ElementName=radRichTextBox, Path=Commands}">
        <telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Edit">
            <telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Cut" Command="{Binding CutCommand}" />
            <telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Paste" Command="{Binding PasteCommand}"/>
        </telerik:RadMenuItem>
    </telerik:RadMenu>
    <telerik:RadRichTextBox Grid.Row="1" Name="radRichTextBox"/>
</Grid>
