RTF table borders lost on import

[John]

I am trying to build a RadDocument from multiple RTF strings. Tables are imported correctly except the borders are lost. The borders displayed correctly when viewed in MS Word. Is there a better way to do this?

foreach (string rtfTextString in myListOfStrings)
{
    RtfFormatProvider provider = new RtfFormatProvider();
    RadDocument  subDoc = provider.Import(rtfTextString);

    foreach (Section s in subDoc.Sections)
    {
        var copy = s.CreateDeepCopy() as Section;
        if (copy != null)
        {
            richTextBox.Document.Sections.Add(copy);
        }
    }
}

Nevermind. I found the posts about InsertFragment. I had tried that before, but got null reference exceptions. Then I saw a post about having to Measure and Arrange before calling InsertFragment.

MeasureAndArrangeInDefaultSize(doc);

doc.CaretPosition.MoveToLastPositionInDocument();
doc.InsertFragment(new DocumentFragment(subDoc));

Now it works great. You should add the bit about Measure and Arrange to your documentation.

Hello John,

I am glad you were able to resolve the issue you were facing.

Generally, the latter approach - inserting a document fragment, is the recommended one as creating deep copies of sections and adding them to a measured document (in that case - the one shown in the editor) using the Sections collection might cause issues.

As for your comment about the exception you were observing - I was unable to reproduce it. However, you should indeed call the method when creating a document from code prior to inserting in it. 

Let us know if you need further assistance.
