Insert content (rtf or html) into existing document

[Giereck]

Hi,

Im trying to use RadRichTextBox together with the Ribbon control to get a Word-like text editor in my application.

So far I've initialized the editor with some content, which can be either plain text, RTF of HTML, so I used the different format providers and its working like a charm.

Now I want to be able to insert content at the caret position. For inserting plain text, I'm using the Insert method, and its working fine, but how do I insert RTF and HTML? On top of that, the inserted RTF or HTML should keep its original formatting and style.

Hi Giereck,
You can use RadRichTextBox.InsertFragment method. DocumentFragment itself could be created from an instance of RadDocument, created from RtfFormatProvider or HtmlFormatProvider, depending on the format you want to import.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have other questions.

Hi Boby,

Thank you for your reply!

How do I create a DocumentFragment from a RadDocument?

Hi Giereck,

In the versions starting from Q2 SP1 (2011.2.920), you can create a DocumentFragment like this:

DocumentFragment fragment = new DocumentFragment(document);
this.editor.InsertFragment(fragment); //Insert the fragment at caret position

Before that, a document fragment could only be created through selection:

document.Selection.SelectAll();
DocumentFragment fragment = document.Selection.CopySelectedDocumentElements();

Hello Everyone,

is this no longer valid?

DocumentFragment fragment = new DocumentFragment(document);

For me with Q3 2012 it says that there is no constructor taking 1 argument. But there aren't any constructores!

How can i create a DocumentFragment now??

Best Regards,
Michael

P.S.: I'm on WinForms, not on WPF, but it this a difference?

Yes there is a difference, so please address your question in the WinForms forums: http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/winforms/richtextbox.aspx, where our colleagues will assist you.
