[Solved] RadRichText Box and MsRichTextBoxXaml

[Don]

How do you open a Word Document containing images and exclude the images when the the Rich Texbox is opened? I know you have a format provider named Telerik.Windows.Documents.FormatProviders.MsRichTextBoxXaml.dll which removes images, but I don't know where to wire this when a document is opened.

Hi Don,

Using MsRichTextBoxXamlFormatProvider will not be optimal, but fortunately, I can recommend a much easier way that will preserve all formating, stripping the images only. Here's a code snippet how you can perform that operation on a RadDocument. You can see how to load the document in the help on format providers.

foreach (ImageInline imageInline in document.EnumerateChildrenOfType<ImageInline>().ToArray())
{
    imageInline.Parent.Children.Remove(imageInline);
}

foreach (FloatingImageBlock floatingImageBlock in document.EnumerateChildrenOfType<FloatingImageBlock>().ToArray())
{
    floatingImageBlock.Parent.Children.Remove(floatingImageBlock);
}

Let us know if you need additional assistance.
