[Solved] MeasureOverride returned positive infinity

[Bryan]

Not sure how to solve this one.

As soon as I put a combo box within a toolbar it give me this error.

"MeasureOverride returned positive infinity: Telerik.Windows.Documents.Layout.DocumentLayoutBox"

Here is the xaml for the page.

If I remove the combo boxes it works great.

Hello Bryan,

This problem appears because currently RadRichTextBox does not support to Horizontal/Vertical stack panel or Grid Cell with Auto width/height. We will resolve this limitation in the upcoming release. You should though be careful though, when using this kind of panel with RadRichTextBox, since this way you will loose the UI virtualization support, which may lead to poor performance and large memory footprint of your application when editing larger documents. We suggest you use the grid panel and specify exact or * size of the cells to avoid such problems.

Let us know if the problem persists.

Sincerely yours,
Mike

Thanks.

Do you know how I can view the rich text control while having it adjust its height, based on its content?

Right now I am using it store comments like a blog post comment.  When I display, the height does not adjust for the content in the control.

Hi Bryan,

The new version Q2 that will be live any minute now should solve this issue. You should be able to measure RadRichTextBox in a container that has infinite height.
Let us know how it goes.

Best wishes,
