[Solved] Copy page layout of RadDocument to other RadDocument

[aubrey]

Good Day Telerik Team,

Is there a way to get the properties (like Page Orientation and margin) of a radDocument, so that i can apply it to other RadDocument?

here's my code:

RadDocument doc = new RadDocument();

this.radRichTextBox1.Document.Selection.SelectAll();

doc = this.radRichTextBox1.Document.Selection.CreateDocumentFromSelection();
doc.CaretPosition.MoveToFirstPositionInDocument();

prev.rtbPrev.Document = doc;
prev.rtbPrev.Document.LayoutMode = radRichTextBox1.Document.LayoutMode;
prev.rtbPrev.Document.CopyPropertiesFrom(radRichTextBox1.Document);

hoping for your reply,
Aubrey :')

Hi aubrey,

Indeed the CopyPropertiesFrom(DocumentElement element) method doesn't copy PageOrientation or Margin properties. If you want to do that, you can try setting them explicitly using the following approach:

prev.rtbPrev.Document.SectionDefaultPageOrientation = radRichTextBox1.Document.SectionDefaultPageOrientation;

You can repeat that for every property you need to copy. Please note that besides SectionDefaultPageOrientation, the Section may have its own PageOrientation set, so they must be copied on a per-Section basis too. However, this cannot be done using CopyPropertiesFrom as it currently does not copy these properties. This was a bug in earlier version and is fixed for the official Q2 2011 release.

If other question occur contact us again.

Hi Andrew,

I,ve done that one:

prev.rtbPrev.Document.SectionDefaultPageOrientation = radRichTextBox1.Document.SectionDefaultPageOrientation;

but it only retrieves radRichTextBox1 default pageOrientartion. Is there a way that i can retrieve radRichTextBox1's current Orientation and Margin?

Thanks,
Aubrey
