Indent not working as expected

[zhivko.zhelezov]

Hello,

  I have a question about Richtextbox DocumentRuler.

The case is as follows..I insert  a table with several rows and columns into my document then insert an InlineUIContainer with a custom control in some table cell.

When I try to change the left/right indent of the inserted InlineUIContainer element a null reference exception is thrown.

 

Here are the exception details:
{System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
   at Telerik.Windows.Documents.Commands.Styles.Paragraphs.ChangeParagraphStyleCommandBase`2.PreserveStateBeforeExecute(TContext context)
   at Telerik.Windows.Documents.Commands.UndoableDocumentCommandBase`1.OnExecuting(DocumentCommandContextBase context)
   at Telerik.Windows.Documents.Commands.DocumentCommandBase`1.Execute(DocumentCommandContextBase context)
   at Telerik.Windows.Documents.Model.RadDocumentEditor.ChangeParagraphLeftIndent(Double leftIndent)
   at Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadRichTextBox.ChangeParagraphLeftIndent(Double leftIndent)
   at Telerik.Windows.Controls.RichTextBoxUI.RadRichTextBoxRulerController.SetSeparatorFirstLineIndentAndHangingIndent(Double firstLineIndent, Double hangingIndent)
   at Telerik.Windows.Controls.RichTextBoxUI.DocumentRulerBase.LeftIndent_DragCompleted(Object sender, DragCompletedEventArgs e)
   at Telerik.Windows.Controls.RichTextBoxUI.RulerThumb.RaiseDragCompleted(Boolean canceled)
   at Telerik.Windows.Controls.RichTextBoxUI.RulerThumb.OnLostMouseCapture(MouseEventArgs e)

   at MS.Internal.JoltHelper.FireEvent(IntPtr unmanagedObj, IntPtr unmanagedObjArgs, Int32 argsTypeIndex, Int32 actualArgsTypeIndex, String eventName, UInt32 flags)}

 

Here is the code of InlineUIContainer addition:

 

            var container = new InlineUIContainer(instrumentItem, uiSize);

            DocumentPosition position = editor.Document.CaretPosition;
            Paragraph paragraph = new Paragraph();
            container.Width = uiSize.Width;
            container.Height = uiSize.Height;
            paragraph.Inlines.Add(container);

            var paragraphBox = position.GetCurrentParagraphBox();

            if (paragraphBox != null)
            {
                editor.Document.Sections.First.Blocks.AddAfter(paragraphBox.AssociatedParagraph, paragraph);
            }
            else
            {
                editor.Document.Sections.First.Blocks.Add(paragraph);
            }

            editor.UpdateEditorLayout();

 

 

Thanks!

Hi Zhivko,

I wasn't able to replicate the error and am not sure what version of the suite you're using, but am presuming this is related to the approach you're suing to add the InlineUIContainer in the document.

In short, modifying the collections of document elements of a measured document (one that has its size and layout calculated) is not recommended and instead you can use the methods of RadRichTextBox or RadDocumentEditor. Could you try adding the control with the InsertInline() method of RadRichTextBox and see if the issue persists?

Hello,

  It helped for me when using InsertInline(..) method.

Thank you for your answer!
