Hello Atif,

Thank you for contacting us.

Let me get straight to the question. In order to select the entire content in a document I would suggest you to use the following approach: 

this.radRichTextBox.Document.Selection.SelectAll();

You can also get the selected content like this:

this.radRichTextBox.Document.Selection.GetSelectedText();

 I hope this information is helpful. Don't hesitate to contact us again if you have further questions.

First of all thank you so much for the response, Well i have very complex scenario which i need to explain it in more detail.

I have headings on left side of the document and each heading have descriptions like given below.

Skin: This is normal.

Eyes: No problem found.

Now if user click on hyperlink like Skin/Eyes so i want to get the description of particular item.

If user click on Skin so i want to select the Skin description only.

If user click on Eyes so i wan to to select the Eyes description only.

I have done that and my algorithm works fine if description does not contain any special character like  
, . ;  :  / , If description contain any special character so it does not work correctly i have attached two images kindly help me it is very critical for my application Thanks.

Hello Atif,

Actually I am still not sure why you need to select every single word separately. If you are trying to extract some text I would suggest to read the document by paragraphs and implement some logic for the extracted text with the methods of String:

DocumentPosition position = new DocumentPosition(this.radRichTextBox.Document);

 
do
{

DocumentPosition paragraphEndPosition = new DocumentPosition(position);

paragraphEndPosition.MoveToLastPositionInParagraph();

this.radRichTextBox.Document.Selection.AddSelectionStart(position);

this.radRichTextBox.Document.Selection.AddSelectionEnd(paragraphEndPosition);
position = paragraphEndPosition;
while(position.MoveToNext()); 

 

string text = this.radRichTextBox.Document.Selection.GetSelectedText();

 

Alternatively here is how to get the text of a line:

DocumentPosition position = new DocumentPosition(this.radRichTextBox.Document);

 
do
{

DocumentPosition lineEndPosition = new DocumentPosition(position);

lineEndPosition.MoveToCurrentLineEnd();

this.radRichTextBox.Document.Selection.AddSelectionStart(position);

this.radRichTextBox.Document.Selection.AddSelectionEnd(lineEndPosition);
position = lineEndPosition ;

 } while(position .MoveToNext());

string text = this.radRichTextBox.Document.Selection.GetSelectedText();

Please let me know if you need further assistance.

Got it, Now i have only one issue left regarding Find/Replace.
If i want to Find  string which contains circle brackets () so find function does not work in code behind, it only works if i use find/replace dialog but i want to find using Code behind sample code are given below.

1.foreach (var textRange in search.FindAll("We are (fine)"))
2.       {
3.           this.MacroRichTextBox.Document.Selection.AddSelectionStart(textRange.StartPosition);
4.           this.MacroRichTextBox.Document.Selection.AddSelectionEnd(textRange.EndPosition);
5.            this.radRichTextBox.Insert("Hurra!");
6.       }

Hi Atif,

The FindAll() method uses the accepted search string as a regex. That said, you can simply escape your search string. More information is available in the Search article.

I hope this helps.
