Styling documents when data bound

[Emil Einarsson]

Hello!

I have a RichTextBox and it's source is bound via a DataProvider. However, I want to set some properties on the RadDocument to change the visual experience. But the document is created on the fly when using databinding.

So I tried to do this:

<Style TargetType="Model:RadDocument">
   <Setter Property="LayoutMode" Value="Flow"/>
   <Setter Property="SectionDefaultPageMargin" Value="0"/>
</Style>

But it didnt work. How can I restyle the document when using databinding?

Cheers,
E

Hello Emil Einarsson,

You can use the SetupDocument event of RtfDataProvider (actually it comes from DataProviderBase, so all of the data providers have it) to set the properties of the document. Here is an example:

private void RtfDataProvider_SetupDocument(objectsender, Telerik.Windows.Documents.FormatProviders.SetupDocumentEventArgs e)
{
      //e.Document.LayoutMode = Telerik.Windows.Documents.Model.DocumentLayoutMode.Paged;
      e.Document.SectionDefaultPageMargin = newPadding(0);
}

However, if you set the property LayoutMode on the rich text box, you can skip setting it in the handler for SetupDocument.

All the best,
