Style the RichTextBox popups

[Chad]

How do I style the RichTextBox popups?  I set the theme on the RichTextBox to be Windows7, but the Find/Replace dialog buttons are not Windows7 themed.

Also, can I control where the popup dialogs appear?  They cover the text that I want the user to see.

Thanks!

Hello Chad,

The UI that RadRichTextBox uses does not inherit the theme from the rich text box. However, if you set the application theme in the constructor of the window that the control is, it will be properly set on the dialogs:

public MainWindow()
{
    StyleManager.ApplicationTheme = new Windows7Theme();
    InitializeComponent();
}

In this way, the theme will be applied to all controls on the page, RadRichTextBoxRibbonUI, RadRichTextBox, DocumentRuler and the StatusBar.

I hope this helps.

All the best,

That is very helpful, thank you.

Is it possible to adjust where it appears initially?

Thanks!

Hi Chad,

We will see what can be done, so that the dialogs inherit the theme from RadRichTextBox by default.
However, as there is another solution (setting the theme to the whole Application), the issue may not be included in the upcoming Q3 release.
