numbered list

[Shahrzade]

Hi,

I am trying to build a RadDocument from many input RadDocuments (to put together many small documents). Many of these smaller documents have numbered lists whose numbering should be preserved. To insert each of the small documents, I am using
     richTextEditorToInsertInto.DocumentEditor.InsertFragment(new DocumentFragment(radDocumentToAppend))

When put together in the bigger document the numbering continues to increase, e.g., if

Document_1 contains:      and       Document_2 contains:
  DOC1_Header                               DOC2_Header
      1.  Doc1_Item1                               1.  Doc2_Item1
      2.  Doc1_Item2                               2.  Doc2_Item2
      3.  Doc2_Item3                               3.  Doc2_Item3
When put together, the resulting document contains
    DOC1_Header 
      1.  Doc1_Item1
      2.  Doc1_Item2
      3.  Doc2_Item3
    DOC2_Header
      4.  Doc2_Item1
      5.  Doc2_Item2
      6.  Doc2_Item3

Is there a way of resetting the start index for list numbering to 1? How can i keep the numbering from the original documents?

Thanks,

Shahrzade.

Hello ,

Thank you for writing.

Here is a sample code snippet demonstrating how to insert two numbered lists with reset start index: 

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    RadDocument doc1 = new RadDocument();
    Section section = new Section();
    for (int i = 1; i <= 3; i++)
    {
        Paragraph item1 = new Paragraph();
        Span span = new Span("Doc1_Item" + i);
        item1.Inlines.Add(span);
        section.Blocks.Add(item1);
    }

    doc1.Sections.Add(section);
    this.radRichTextEditor1.DocumentEditor.InsertFragment(new DocumentFragment(doc1));

    DocumentPosition startPosition = this.radRichTextEditor1.Document.CaretPosition;
    DocumentPosition endPosition = new DocumentPosition(startPosition);
    startPosition.MoveToFirstPositionInDocument();
    endPosition.MoveToLastPositionInDocument();
    this.radRichTextEditor1.Document.Selection.AddSelectionStart(startPosition);
    this.radRichTextEditor1.Document.Selection.AddSelectionEnd(endPosition);

    ListStyle newlistStyle = new ListStyle(DefaultListStyles.Numbered);

    this.radRichTextEditor1.ChangeListStyle(newlistStyle);
                this.radRichTextEditor1.Document.Selection.Clear();

    startPosition = this.radRichTextEditor1.Document.CaretPosition;
    startPosition.MoveToLastPositionInDocument();
    startPosition = new DocumentPosition(this.radRichTextEditor1.Document.CaretPosition);

    RadDocument doc2 = new RadDocument();
    Section section2 = new Section();
    for (int i = 1; i <= 3; i++)
    {
        Paragraph item1 = new Paragraph();
        Span span = new Span("Doc2_Item" + i);
        item1.Inlines.Add(span);
        section2.Blocks.Add(item1);
    }
    doc2.Sections.Add(section2);
    this.radRichTextEditor1.DocumentEditor.InsertFragment(new DocumentFragment(doc2));

    startPosition.MoveToFirstPositionInDocument();
    for (int i = 0; i < doc1.Sections.First().Blocks.Count; i++)
    {
        startPosition.MoveToFirstPositionInNextParagraph();
    }

    this.radRichTextEditor1.Document.Selection.AddSelectionStart(startPosition);
    this.radRichTextEditor1.Document.Selection.AddSelectionEnd(endPosition);


    ListStyle listStyle = new ListStyle(DefaultListStyles.Numbered);
    this.radRichTextEditor1.ChangeListStyle(listStyle);
    this.radRichTextEditor1.Document.CaretPosition.MoveToPosition(startPosition);
    this.radRichTextEditor1.RestartListNumbering();
    this.radRichTextEditor1.Document.Selection.Clear();
}

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions I would be glad to help.
