RadRichTextBox executing time height

[JOSE]

We are using a RadRichTextBox and we want to know the actual height of  the RadDocument you have inside. How  can we get the real height of the document depending on its content?.

Hello JOSE,

Would you mind sharing why you need to know the actual height of a RadDocument? Currently this is not possible, however we might be able to suggest another approach for what you are trying to achieve.

I'm looking forward to your reply.

Hello Petya,
 
Thank you for your fast answer.

We have a Canvas where the user can add different elements, one of them is the RadRichTextBox, he can write in it all he wants and the scrolls are enabled while doing it. Afterwards, the user can print that document into a RadDocument, to be shown into the PDF Viewer, for that we use the ImageTools libraries to convert the canvas into images that are splitted and added to the RadDocument into all the pages that are necesary. We need the height of the RadDocument inside the RadRichTextBox because we do not want to have the scrolls at that moment, we want to resize it to the actual heigth of its content so all the information can be shown in the final document that is shown using the viewer.

Hope this explanation exposes our situation.

Regards.

Hi Jose,

We are not sure how you have implemented this scenario and if using RadRichTextBox would be the appropriate control to use. 

When it comes to the height of the document you are interested in  - it is in Flow LayoutMode, is that correct? In that case, you could use the DesiredSize property of the document. Please try this out and let us know if you encounter any issues.
