    Hi,
    I'm trying to reduce the space between RichTextBox borders and the text inside. How can I do this? It looks like there are text paddings of 10 pixels somewhere in the RichTextBox code.
    Thanks.

    Hi Alexander,

    Indeed there is a minimal margin of 8 dips (pixels) in RadDocument and we currently do not provide API for changing that. We will consider introducing a property for setting it in the next minor release or internal build if possible.
    If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to contact us again.

    Best wishes,

    I'm trying to use the RichTextBox in quite a small area and I'd also like to see functionality for changing the margin.

    Cheers,
    Ola

    We also have the same issue and it became quite important. Do you have an estimated date for the release?
    Thanks!

    I would also like to reduce the white space between the border of the control and the text for a list of documents.
    I downloaded the SP1 version 2010.3.1314 which says it will..."Introduce property to set the space between RichTextBox borders and the text inside", but what is the name of this new property?

    Thanks.

    Hi Herb,

    If you are using a document in flow layout mode, the document will respect the value you set to the Padding property that RadRichTextBox inherits from Control.

    <telerik:RadRichTextBox Name="editor" Padding="0,20,100,60" />

    If you are using paged layout mode, you can set the margin of the document like this:
    <telerik:RadRichTextBox Name="editor" >
        <telerik:RadDocument LayoutMode="Paged" SectionDefaultPageMargin="0,0,0,0" />
    </telerik:RadRichTextBox>

    Best wishes,
