documentruler measurementUnit

[Valentijn]

Hi

Did anyone try to change the MeasurementUnit of the DocumentRuler control to 'Cm'? This does not seem to work. The ruler is not affected after changing the property.

Hi Valentijn,

There is an issue with the measurement unit of DocumentRuler being lost after the template of the control is applied. We will make sure to fix this, but as a workaround, you can set the measurement unit of the ruler in code-behind after its template is applied like this:

this.documentRuler.MeasurementUnit = UnitTypes.Cm;

If you would like to have the document rules using centimeters from the beginning, you can set the measurement unit on Loaded of the page like this:

private void UserControl_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(new Action(delegate()
    {
        this.documentRuler.MeasurementUnit = UnitTypes.Cm;
    }));
}

Kind regards,
Iva
