Watermark for RadRichTextBox

[york]

Hi,
I'd like to know if RadRichTextBox has watermark feature, ie watermark image can be added to RadRichTextBox. Thanks.

Hi,

Currently, RadRichTextBox doesn't support native watermarking. You can emulate the feature by using custom UI layers, but import/export will not preserve the watermark. It is on our to-do list, but there is no schedule for now. In the meantime, you can vote for it in the PITS, here's the link: http://www.telerik.com/support/pits.aspx#/details/Issue=3208 . Let us know if we can assist you any further.

If using custom UI layers, can radrichtextbox content be displayed and saved with watermark image? Thanks.

Hello York,

Custom UI layers can be used to display a watermark, but on saving, the image will not be included in the exported document. Furthermore, if you open a document which includes a watermark, the watermark will not be imported either.
As Ivailo mentioned, genuine watermarks, along with import and export in different file formats is on our to-do list, but has not been scheduled yet.

Can radrichtextbox content be printed with watermark image?

[Iva Toteva]

Hello York,

If the watermark is implemented using the custom layers feature, it will be printed when using the native print of Silverlight.
RadRichTextBox also has an HTML printing, which uses the browser to print the content of the documents. In this case, the watermark will not be printed.

Kind regards,
