Caret in RichTextBox is invisible when appliaction is render mode is Aliased.

[Maciej]

Hi,

I have a poblem with your RichTextBox control. When i set render options in WPF application like this:

RenderOptions.EdgeMode(dependencyObject, EdgeMode.Aliased);

caret in richTextBox disappeared. To reproduce the problem font size should be set to less then 15 and font style should not be set to italic.

( I think that the problem is thickness of caret and the render of 1px width in this render mode)

Please let my know how to set visibility of caret.

Hello Maciej,
As a whole setting of RenderOptions to RadRichTextBox is not supported, as this alters the presentation layer, while the internal measuring mechanism doesn't support it. As the RenderOptions is inheritable property, we can recommend to reset its value to the default one only for the RadRichTextBox:

<Window RenderOptions.EdgeMode="Aliased">
...
    <telerik:RadRichTextBox RenderOptions.EdgeMode="Unspecified">
   ...

When RenderOptions of WPF control is set as RenderOptions.EdgeMode="Unspecified" it still inherit RenderOption from parent object.
To make it work I have to change render option for root object example Window, but I do not want to do that. 

Is any other way to make caret visible in Aliased Render Option?

Hi Maciej,
You are right, actually the trick suggested by me doesn't work. I was in a mistake thinking that the RenderOptions.EdgeMode would work similarly to TextOptions class properties.

I will log the issue for further investigation, but for now with relatively low priority due to its specificity.

Hi Maciej,
The bug is currently not scheduled. I think I found a possible workaround, but I will require upgrade to the latest version (2014 Q3). The trick is to change the width of the Caret:

internal class FatCaretFactory : ICaretFactory
{
    public Caret CreateCaret()
    {
        return new FatCaret();
    }
}

internal class FatCaret : Caret
{
    public override void OnApplyTemplate()
    {
        base.OnApplyTemplate();

        this.Width = 2;
    }
}

public MainDemoControl()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    this.radRichTextBox.CaretFactory = new FatCaretFactory();
    ...
