Listening To MailMergeCommand

[band]

Hi,

Simple question, how can I subscribe to MailMergeCommand so that I can find out where the file is being saved. 

 

void radRichTextBox_CommandExecuted(object sender, CommandExecutedEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Command is MailMergeCommand)
    {
       // File Dialog FilePath Location Code
    }
}

void radRichTextBox_CommandExecuting(object sender, CommandExecutingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Command is MailMergeCommand)
    {

    }
}

Hello Band,

The MailMergeCommand doesn't give access to the dialog path where the file will be saved. In order to achieve your requirement you can use the CommandExecuting event to cancel the MailMergeCommand and then implement custom logic that manually calls the mail merge feature. This way you can get the save path.

private void richTextBox_CommandExecuting(object sender, Telerik.Windows.Documents.RichTextBoxCommands.CommandExecutingEventArgs e)

{

    if (e.Command is MailMergeCommand)

    {                 

        SaveFileDialog saveDialog = new SaveFileDialog();

        saveDialog.Filter = "Word Documents (*.docx)|*.docx|Web Pages (*.html, *.htm)|*.html;*.htm|PDF Files (*.pdf)|*.pdf|Rich Text Format (*.rtf)|*.rtf|Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt|XAML Files (*.xaml)|*.xaml";

        bool? dialogResult = saveDialog.ShowDialog();

        if (dialogResult == true)

        {

            using (var outputStream = saveDialog.OpenFile())

            {

                var richTextBox = (RadRichTextBox)sender;

                var mergedDocument = richTextBox.MailMerge();

                DocxFormatProvider provider = new DocxFormatProvider();

                provider.Export(mergedDocument, outputStream);

            }
              var filePath = saveDialog.FileName;


        }

        e.Cancel = true;

    }

}

Martin
