EUR symbol cannot be entered via german keyboard layout

[Bernhard]

Hello,

my customer has noticed that it is not possible to enter the euro currency symbol € in the RichTextBox via key combination "Alt Gr" + "E"

You can reproduce it in the online demo (http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/#RichTextBox/TelerikEditor).

As workaround it's only possible to enter the symbol with "Alt" + 0128.

Best regards,
Bernhard

Hello Bernhard,

Thank you for contacting us!

Telerik RichTextBlock supports default key-binding commands which can be overridden and customize to the liking of the user . Currently, you can insert an Euro sign in RadRichTextBox using the following keyboard shortcut: Alt+Num0+Num1+Num2+Num8. If you want to change that behavior, you can subscribe to the PreviewEditorKeyDown event of the editor as shown here and handle the insertion here:

private void radRichTextBox_PreviewEditorKeyDown(object sender, Documents.PreviewEditorKeyEventArgs e)

{

    if(Keyboard.Modifiers.HasFlag(ModifierKeys.Alt) && Keyboard.Modifiers.HasFlag(ModifierKeys.Control) &&

        e.Key == Key.E)

    {

        e.SuppressDefaultAction = true;

        e.OriginalArgs.Handled = true;

  

        this.radRichTextBox.Insert("€");

    }

}

If you have other questions don't hesitate to contact us again.
