Manipulating RadDocument programmatically

[Paul]

Hi there,

I'm busy evaluating the RadRichTextBox for our purposes and I've noticed that the InsertTable() method does not exist in the WPF version of the RadRichTextBox (vs SilverLight, which has the only documentation for this control).

I also noticed, regardless of it's existence in the API, that there is no way to specify a position for the table, regardless of where you might want to actually insert it in the document.

Could you please explain how, for example, I might programmatically insert a table into a RadDocument at a position which is in the middle of a paragraph?

The functionality I'm after is similar to how you would in a FlowDocument call InsertParagraphBreak() on a TextPointer and then insert the table in the Blocks section after the now preceeding Paragraph object.

Hi Paul,

Actually the InsertTable method exists in both Silverlight and WPF APIs. Moreover both version of the product share nearly 100% of the code and API. I am also happy to inform you that we managed to roll out the online documentation for RadRichTextBox for WPF in a couple of weeks:
http://www.telerik.com/help/wpf/radrichtextbox-features-document-elements-tables.html

About the actual problem, please find attached a sample I prepared for  you, to demonstrate how you can insert a table at a specific position. In general the "Insert..." methods of RadRichTextBox respect the current Document.CaretPostion, which is similar to TextPointer in WPF. You can manipulate it using the methods of the DocumentPosition class:

Let us know if this helped.

All the best,
