RTF containing protected text does not make protected text readonly.

[Parag]

 

I have below rich text,

{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fnil\fcharset0 Times New Roman;}{\f1\fnil\fcharset0 Tahoma;}}
\viewkind4\uc1\pard\protect\f0\fs22 This is protected text\protect0\f1\fs16\par
}

It contains "\protect" tag which indicates the text between this tag is protected and cant be edited.

But when I bind this RTF to RadRichTextBox, it displays the text correctly. But it loses the protection. It does not make the text read-only.

How to make this text read-only?

Hi Parag,

Import and export functionality for the read-only ranges is existing only in the XamlFormatProvider and thus, it could be used only for Xaml documents. However, this functionality is not yet available for the RtfFormatProvider. I've logged an item in our backlog and here is the related item in our feedback portal. For now, I could suggest you to vote and subscribe for it in order to be notified about any related changes.

If you need further assistance, please get back to us again.
