Custom field doesn't inherit formats

[Tomas]

Hi

I've created a new custom field which write in a span some text(with some carriage returns)

When I put it inside the RTB it is not formatted with the same font family, font size, etc as the sibling elements 
I doesn't inherit the formats the the sibling elements already have
If I put a docvariable all is fine

 

thanks in advance

Hi Tomas,

Could you please ensure that the current span style is transferred to the fragment of the field that is being inserted? You can obtain this information from the EvaluationContext property of the document. This property holds information about the RadDocument instance, from which you can get the current span and extract its styling. Here is an example implementation of the GetResultFragment() method that should be implemented for the custom field:

protected override DocumentFragment GetResultFragment()
{
    int totalPageCount = 1;
    int totalPageInCurrentSection = 1;
    int currentPageInCurrentSection = 1;

    if (this.EvaluationContext != null)
    {
        totalPageCount = this.GetTotalPageCount();

        LayoutBox box = this.EvaluationContext.AssociatedLayoutBoxInMainDocument ?? this.FieldStart.FirstLayoutBox;

        currentPageInCurrentSection = this.GetCurrentPageFromSectionPages(box);
        totalPageInCurrentSection = this.GetPageCountInSection(box);
    }

    Span currentSpan = this.EvaluationContext.Document.CaretPosition.GetCurrentSpan();
    Span spanToInsert = new Span(
        string.Format("Total pages in the document: {0}. Pages in current section: {1} / {2}",
                        totalPageCount, currentPageInCurrentSection, totalPageInCurrentSection));
    spanToInsert.CopyPropertiesFrom(currentSpan);

    return DocumentFragment.CreateFromInline(spanToInsert);
}

Hope this is helpful.
