Hi,
I use the RichTextBox control to display a document composed by a number of Sections (Telerik.Windows.Documents.Model.Section). I want to programmatically change the border color when a user moves the cursor over a section or presses the left mouse button on a section.

How can I implement this functionality to determine the selected Section and then change its styling properties?

Thanks

Hi Stergios,

Having answered your question about getting the current section, we are still a bit confused over what modifications you wish to perform on it. Sections do not have a border color and the relationship between pages and sections is not 1 to 1.

Could you share some details on your goal? What exactly do you wish to change in the document and should it be for presentation purposes only, or should be persisted when you save the document?

Looking forward to your reply.

Kind regards,

Hello Iva,

I want to implement the following scenario:
- My content is composed by individual blocks of information defined in xml files.
- Each block has a descriptive content (text, tables etc) and an associated image.
- All the blocks should be displayed on the same page as a scrollable flow, while the user will be able to select a single block. 
- Upon selection, the block should be highlighted (e.g. by setting a border around it or by changing its background color) and the corresponding image will be displayed. 

I've successfully implemented a prototype using the standard silverlight RichTextBox control using a ListBox as the flow container and RichTextBox controls as ListBox items, represanting each block of information.

Now I want to extend this prototype using the RadRichTextBox instead of the standard RichTextBox control in order to use its built-in capabilities for searching, zooming and pdf exporting. Of course I could use a StackPanel or a ListBox and create a list of RadRichTextBox controls, but then I have to orchestrate the functionalities because searching, zooming and exporting have to apply to all the RadRichTextBoxes at once. Also, by using multiple RichTextBox controls I've notice that the performance is slow (when setting the RadRichTextBox Document property).

So, I decided to create a single RadRichTextBox (flowing mode) to hold the different blocks of information as Sections. Using this approach, zooming, searching and exporting is siplified but I have to solve the problem of Section selection.  

Best Regards,
