Using RadRichTextBox to display and input text, tables, images, and files

[David]

I am using the RadRichTextBox to input and display various types of data. So far text input works fine. However when I copy and paste an image it seems to appear in the RadRichTextBox but the actual image is invisible. I would like to have text, tables, images and files if possible inside my RadRichTextBox. Here's some code that I've tried thus far. As I understand it XamlDataProvider takes a string in xaml format as its data source. Which is fine but then I don't understand how binary files like images are handled. A code sample in the mvvm pattern would be great. Thank you.

<StackPanel>
    <telerikXaml:XamlDataProvider RichTextBox="{Binding ElementName=radRich}" Xaml="{Binding Path=XamlText, Mode=TwoWay}"></telerikXaml:XamlDataProvider>
    <telerik:RadRichTextBox x:Name="radRich" />
</StackPanel>

private string xamlText;
public string XamlText
{
    get { return xamlText; }
    set
    {
        if (xamlText != value)
        {
            xamlText = value;
            RaisePropertyChanged("XamlText");
        }
    }
}

Hi David,

Please find attached a demo illustrating the binding of RadRichTextBox's document with XamlDataProvider. I have also included the result of the XAML export of a document, which includes tables, images, etc. as a constant in the ViewModel. This document is loaded when you start the application.
I hope this helps.

Is it possible to include files in RichTextBox as attachments? The output could be a pdf files with attachments.
Thanks

Hello Fabio,

It is not possible to add file attachments to RadDocument or RadRichTextBox.

This feature is currently not scheduled for implementation, so I cannot provide you with any details if or when it will be implemented.

All the best,

can I also perform Find and Replace using the xamlText?

Hi Jaypee,

I am afraid I am a bit confused about what exactly you are trying to achieve. Would you mind elaborating on the requirements you wish to fulfill with RadRichTextBox's Find and Replace functionality?

Looking forward to your reply.
