Page margin off when binding RichtextBox

[Kirk Quinbar]

I am binding a RadRichTextbox though your HTMLDataProvider to a viewmodel. If you look at the attached image you will see the control is displaying a large margin around the text. the only way i could figure out how to change that margin is via the SetupDocument event on HtmlDataProvider as shown below in the codehind. I would prefer to not have any codebehind, so is there a way to change that margin on the xaml side. it seems as though every time it binds a change, the page margin goes back to some default. if that is true it seems like i should be able to change the default margin but i havent been able to figure it out. is it possible?

 

 

 

XAML:
<documents:RadRichTextBox x:Name="EulaRichTextBox" Grid.Row="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" IsReadOnly="True" >

 

 

 

 

<documents:RadRichTextBox.Resources>

 

 

 

 

<documentsHtml:HtmlDataProvider x:Key="htmlDataProvider" RichTextBox="{Binding ElementName=EulaRichTextBox}" Html="{Binding EndUserAgreementVerbiage, Mode=TwoWay}" SetupDocument="HtmlDataProvider_SetupDocument" />

 

 

 

 

</documents:RadRichTextBox.Resources>

 

 

 

 

</documents:RadRichTextBox>

 

CodeBehind:

 

 

private void HtmlDataProvider_SetupDocument(object sender, Telerik.Windows.Documents.FormatProviders.SetupDocumentEventArgs e)

 

{

e.Document.SectionDefaultPageMargin =

 

new Telerik.Windows.Documents.Layout.Padding(10, 10, 10, 10);

 

}

Hello Kirk Quinbar,

Currently, the only way to customize the documents produced by the data providers is through the SetupDocument event. However, as some formats (like Xaml and Docx) internally save the page margins, overwriting that through the data providers would cause incorrect behavior. Therefore, I'd recommend to stick with the code that you currently have.

one suggestion i would have would be to add attributes we could setup on the xaml side as default margin settings (and other settings for that matter) that could be used anytime text or html is imported. in those situations we dont want the huge margin as it doesnt have to look like a word doc or whatever. and we also would prefer to not have code in our codebehind.yes your current SetupDocument event works, but forces us to have code in the codebehind. we normally dont as we are all about MVVM pattern and try to avoid it.

just a thought..
