Setting font size for a RadRichTextBox

[Simon]

Do you have an example on how we should use the RadRichTextBox DefaultStyleSettings in code behind?

[Iva Toteva]

Hi Simon,

The DefaultStyleSettings property is of type StyleDefinition and is manipulated through the GetPropertyValue and SetPropertyValue methods. It has to do with the style settings that are applied to paragraphs and spans that have not been set values for the following properties:

• FontFamily;
• FontSize;
• FontStyle;
• FontWeight.

Here is an example of how you can use this property:

StyleDefinition style = this.radRichTextBox.Document.DefaultStyleSettings;
double? leftIndent = (double?)style.GetPropertyValue(Paragraph.LeftIndentProperty);
style.SetPropertyValue(Span.FontFamilyProperty, new FontFamily("Comic Sans MS"));
style.SetPropertyValue(Paragraph.FontSizeProperty, Unit.PointToDip(4));

If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to contact us again.

Hi Dinesh Patel,

Please refer to this article regarding the setting of default style settings on the document.
You can also set these properties in a Style and apply it to all RadRichTextBoxes in your application.

Hi dear Admin

I have a problem about radrichtexteditor, I set something such  as margin, font page size and so on but when this code is executed 

Radrichtexteditor1.Document=document;

all of the setting that i have set on radRichTextEditor dont work what is the problem?!?

Hello Rosa,

Each of these is property of the RadDocument itself, or part of the document model. So when you change the current document with another instance of document, it carries all these properties with itself. Depending on your scenario, you can use RadRichTextBox.DocumentChanged event and apply the needed formatting just after the document is changed.
