Add Table of Content in RadFlowDocument

[Muhammad]

I'm using RadFlowDocument to edit a document (docx), this file is a combination of different docx file.

I have to add Table of content in this file. I saw this code but it is using RadDocument instead of RadFlowDocument class

RadDocument document = new RadDocument();
RadDocumentEditor editor = new RadDocumentEditor(new RadDocument());
editor.InsertField(new TableOfContentsField(), FieldDisplayMode.Result);

How can I add ToC using RadFlowDocument ?

Thanks

Hi Muhammad,

This is still not supported, we have a feature request for it on our feedback portal: https://feedback.telerik.com/document-processing/1356020-wordsprocessing-table-of-contents-toc-field.

We are already working on this and it will be available in the next official release. 

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thanks for your reply.

Is it possible if after saving the document using RadFlowDocument, I open it in RadDocument and add the Table of content ? since I think RadDocument does support TOC.

If possible will this have any impact on the design of the document ?

Thanks,

Hi Muhammad,

Yes, this is possible you need to use one of the formats that are supported by both suites. For example the Docx format. Once the document is ready,  export it to a file or stream then import it to RadDocument and add the TOC, and export it again. More information about the import-export is available in the following articles: 

• WPF RichTextBox - Using DocxFormatProvider
• WordsProcessing - Using DocxFormatProvider

I hope this helps. Should you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.

Thats great.... Are you sure that generating TOC with RadFlowDocument will be a part of the coming release ? because I checked the portal link and it says unplanned.
