Nested List support

[Ben]

I'm trying to add the following content to the RadTextEditor, but it doesn't seem to support nested list.  Any idea on when this will be supported or if there is a workaround?

This is the Content I'm trying to add:

1. Introduction

    a. Location   

        i. Mountains

        ii. In a Valley

    b. Weather    

        i. Cloudy

        ii. Hot

        ii. Humid

2. Main Body

    etc.

Hello Ben,

Currently, RadRichTextBox does not support nested lists. This feature is on our to-do list for Q3. However, you can simulate the appearance of nested lists programatically. The code below will create a document basically for what you want, unfortunately currently the list support is limited to numbers and bullets but no letters.

void CreateParagraph(Section section, DocumentListBase list, int leftIndent, string text)
{
    Paragraph paragraph = new Paragraph();
    section.Paragraphs.Add(paragraph);
    list.AddParagraph(paragraph);
    paragraph.LeftIndent = leftIndent;
    paragraph.Inlines.Add(new Span(text));
}

void CreateTestDocument()
{
    RadDocument document = new RadDocument();
    Section section = new Section();
    document.Sections.Add(section);

    NumberedList list1 = new NumberedList();
    NumberedList list2 = new NumberedList();
    NumberedList list3 = new NumberedList();

    CreateParagraph(section, list1, 0, "Introduction");
    CreateParagraph(section, list2, 20, "Location");
    CreateParagraph(section, list3, 40, "Mountains");
    CreateParagraph(section, list3, 40, "In a Valley");
    CreateParagraph(section, list2, 20, "Weather");
    CreateParagraph(section, list3, 40, "Cloudy");
    CreateParagraph(section, list3, 40, "Hot");
    CreateParagraph(section, list3, 40, "Humid");
    CreateParagraph(section, list1, 0, "Main Body");
}

Let us know if you need further assistance.

Hi Ivalio,

I was looking for this too, and thought there was something wrong with my code. Please can you confirm that this will still be part of the Q3 release? Also, is the Q3 release expected in Q3 or does it have a different timetable? (Would be very useful to know this to help with planning.)

Thanks, James.

Hello James,

The nested lists support is still scheduled for Q3, which is to be shipped around mid-November. If everything goes according to plan, this feature should be available in it.

Best wishes,

Hi,

Looking at the online demo, I can see that the buttons for indenting are now in, but I can't get it to work. When I press 'indent' or 'outdent', all the bullets in the list move in or out. Is this function working now?

Thanks, James.

Hello James,

Unfortunately, we were not able to include nested list support in Q3 and it is now rescheduled for Q1 2011.
We are sorry for the inconvenience that this might be causing to you.

Sincerely yours,

I dont see this in the release notes for the interim Q3 2010 SP 1 release (version 2010.3.1314) either.

is this going to be included in the Q1 2011 release?  if so, is there a beta version ready for review?

Please advise.

Hello Matt Ray,

Nested lists are still scheduled for Q1 2011. However, they will not appear in the beta, which is expected any day now, as we are still testing them on our side. 
If you have other questions, feel free to get back to us.

Best wishes,
