Hi,

My scenario is to create a template using richtextbox,
1. I will have list of fields outside richtextbox 
2. User will create the template by entering the text in richtextbox is his desired format.
3. After entering text user places the cursor between the text and clicks on the field,then the selected field text has to be inserted at cursor place with some format(ex: if field name is user i should insert <user>).User can also insert the text with out entering text also.How to implement this feature,Can any one provide the solution.

For more reference please see the sample UI in attachment

Regards,
Nav

Hello nav kum,

As for inserting text, you can use the method RadRichTextBox.Insert(string text). This will insert the specified text at the caret position (cursor).
Functionality, allowing you to further process those templates (mail merge) is still not available, however it's scheduled for Q3 and is planned to be available in the beta.

All the best,

Hi,

Do u have any updates regarding the mail merge functionality? Have looked at your "Telerik Public Issue Tracking" page and cannot find anything about it there. And if it's in beta, where can i grab it?

Hello Gunner,

We have postponed the introduction of Mail Merge and it is now planned for Q1 2011. There is no available beta yet, but you can try using the newly introduced Find functionality, previewed in this forum post to implement it on your own.
If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to contact us again.

Best wishes,
Iva
