Hi there, 

I'm trying the RichTextBox and something doesn't seem right. In the properties window if I add a value for the Text property and run the app it doesn't show. 
Same if I dynamically add a RichTextBox at runtime and try and apply a value to the text property... nothing shows up. 

Questions:
1. Why doesn't the text property work? 
2. Does winforms come with the equivalent of Asp.net for Ajax RadEditor and is RichTextBox it? 

Regards,
Jacques

Hello, 

The RadRichTextBox does not have a (usable) text property because of the different formats. To just import some text you would specify 
this.radRichTextBox1.Insert("The Text");

However, it's important to read the FAQs and the section on Import/Export

hope that helps

Hi I have an issue using Telerik Rich Text Box for WinForms (Version 2014.1.402.40).

The scenario is very simple

I have this piece of html

<html xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\">
    <head><meta content="TX18_HTM 18.0.402.500" name="GENERATOR" />
        <title>
        </title>
    </head>
    <body style="font-family:'Arial';font-size:12pt;text-align:left;">        
        <ol >
            <li >
                <p >
                    <span style="color:#000000;font-weight:bold;">Welche Laufzeit hat der Beherrschungs- und Gewinnabführungsvertrag der Truck &amp; Bus GmbH mit der Volkswagen AG?</span>
                </p>
            </li>
        </ol>
    </body>
</html>

(I place it in test.html)

and

Then I am using this code to import html

            var tr = new StreamReader("c:\\text\\test.html");  // here is my html above
            var html = tr.ReadToEnd();
            var provider = new HtmlFormatProvider();
            var radDocument =  provider.Import(html);

The rich content is malformed as in the attached picture

I used LayoutMode  FlowNoWrap and it works ( the problem turned out to be from wrapping the rich content not from rendering it)

Thank you,
Marian

Hello Marian,

Thank you for writing.

May I please ask you to open a separate thread with your question, as it is not related to the initial subject of this thread. Keeping just one question in a thread, makes the forums easy to search.

Thank you for the understanding.
