Tab Stops

[Anthony]

Hi, guys!!
Just want to ask you does the latest version of RadRichTextBox have Tab Stops like in Word.May be it's better to say DocumentRuler? Or if it doesn't ,are you going to add it in a next release?

Hello Anthony,

For now, tab stops are not supported. Thanks for your suggestion; this feature is already in our to-do list, however, it is not scheduled yet.

All the best,

Is there any additional info on when Tab Stops will be supported in the RichTextBox when importing .docx files?

Hi Jerry T.,

Tab stops are on our to-do list for the next official release - Q3 2011. It has not been officially scheduled yet, but it will probably be shipped in late November or early December.

We have a solution that is going to be used soon by our internal customers and they absolutely need tab stops. Do you know the soonest a beta of Q3 will be available that has this feature?

Hi Dustin,

We have a PITS issue regarding this feature, which you can use to track our progress.
PITS Issue ID: 7091
Public Url: http://www.telerik.com/support/pits.aspx#/public/silverlight/7091

There will be a Beta to Q3 some time before the official release (in the second half of October) and we may be able to squeeze the feature in the Beta.

All the best,

Please squeeze tab stops into Q3 for this is really a big issue for my customers. I added functionality to our site that our customers will be using to design documents and this is a big show stopper, for these documents are sent to external clients and with out this feature, formatting can be a real nightmare. I'm actually surprised this features wasn't added in the beginning. I checked DevExpress's RichTextBox equivalent and they support tabbing and tabs stops exactly how they are implemented in MS Word. Unfortunately, you can't just buy that specific control or I would because this feature is desperately needed. It should be at the top of your list.

Hello Dustin,

Thank you for the follow-up. I can assure you that the priority of Tab Stops is really high and it will quite certainly be included in the Q3 official release.
