How to ignore font size

[Dave]

I'm trying to find a way to render all text in a RadRichTextBox in a single font size, ignoring the document style(s).

Does anybody know of a place to start?

Thanks

Hi Dave,

Since the styling mechanism is pretty complex and font size can be applied through styles, locally or through inheritance, to ensure that the document has a single font size no matter what has been set, you will need to set the local property for each span.You can achieve that through the Selection API:

this.radRichTextBox.Document.Selection.SelectAll();
this.radRichTextBox.ChangeFontSize(Unit.PointToDip(10));
this.radRichTextBox.Document.Selection.Clear();

You can use the DocumentChanged event of RadRichTextBox to apply these changes. 

Hope this helps.

Thanks Tanya.
I'd rather not flatten down the actual font sizes - i'll want that info at a later stage in the files' workflow. 

I was hoping for a setting/hook/override in the draw/render pipeline.

Hello Michael,

How a document is shown in RadRichtextBox strongly depends on the style settings of the document. If I correctly understand, your requirement is to change the way the document is visualized without actually changing its style settings. If so, I am afraid that this is not possible.
