Highlighting text

[Shahrzade]

Hi,

I have a RadRichTextEdior, the user selects a piece of text and wants to highlight it with a chosen color , e.g., by clicking on a button. How can I do it programatically? How can I get hold of the selected text (its start and its end)?

Is there anything like ChangeParagraphBackgroundColorCommand for  selected text?

 

Thanks,

 

Shahrzade.

Hello ,

Thank you for contacting us. 

In order to highlight the selected text, you can use the ChangeFontHighlightColorCommand. However keep in mind that you need to pass as argument a color instance locate in the following namespace: Telerik.WinControls.RichTextEditor.UI.Color. Please refer to the code snippet below: 

private void radButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.radRichTextEditor1.Commands.ChangeFontHighlightColorCommand.Execute(Telerik.WinControls.RichTextEditor.UI.Color.FromRgb(21, 135, 173));
}

In addition, more information about can be found: RichTextEditor >> Features >> Selection and RichTextEditor >> Features >> Commands 

Finally, I can suggest using the built-in Selection Mini Toolbar which is a floating toolbar with the most commonly used commands for formatting text.

Please, let me know if there is something else I can help you with.
