Clear Formatting button not removing some formatting.

[Bob]

The "Clear Formatting" button in the RichTextBox editor menu is not removing things like the strike-through style, or margin properties from text pasted in from Microsoft Word.  Is there a simple way to have it do that?  I noticed that the "Reset All" button in the Paragraph dialog does clear the formatting better.  Is there a way to trigger the "Reset All" option when the "Clear Formatting" button is clicked?  Thanks, Jim

Hi Bob,

Thank you for contacting us.

I tried to reproduce the described behavior, but it seems to work as expected on my end. Please, find attached a sample video, which demonstrates the steps I performed and let me know if I am missing something.

Overall, if you want to use the behaviour of the Reset All button of the Paragraph Properties Dialog instead of the ClearAllFomrattingCommand, I would suggest you to remove ClearAllFormattingCommand from XAML code and create your own command on button click. Here is how the command looks like in XAML:

<telerik:RadRibbonButton telerik:RadRichTextBoxRibbonUI.RichTextCommand="{Binding ClearAllFormattingCommand}" Size="Small" SmallImage="{telerik:IconResource IconRelativePath=16/ClearFormatting16.png,IconSources={StaticResource IconSources}}" telerik:ScreenTip.Title="Clear All Formatting"/>

The code snippet below demonstrates how to select a paragraph and clear all the formatting applied to it:

private void ClearAllFomratingButtonClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    this.radRichTextBox.Document.CaretPosition.MoveToFirstPositionInParagraph();
    var startPosition = this.radRichTextBox.Document.CaretPosition;
    var endPosition = new DocumentPosition(startPosition);
    endPosition.MoveToLastPositionInParagraph();

    this.radRichTextBox.Document.Selection.AddSelectionStart(startPosition);
    this.radRichTextBox.Document.Selection.AddSelectionEnd(endPosition);

    this.radRichTextBox.ClearAllFormatting();
    this.radRichTextBox.ClearTabStops();
}

I hope this helps. Let me know how it goes.
