    Are there any methods or samples that demonstrate obtaining word counts from a RadDocument? 

    Thanks,

    Hi Dave,

    You can use the GetStatisticsInfo method of RadDocument to obtain a DocumentStatisticsInfo object, which contains information about the following parameters as properties:
    • int PagesCount
    • int SectionsCount
    • int WordsCount
    • int CharactersCount
    • int SpacesCount
    • int ParagraphsCount
    •  int LinesCount
    You can see a sample use of the statistics in our online demo by choosing the "Show statistics" option from the view tab in the ribbon bar. The code of the demo is visible by checking the Source tab in the top-right corner. It is also included in the installation, under the "Demo" folder (located where your Binaries folder is).

    Kind regards,

    What happened to this method on the RadDocument API and the online demo?  I can't find either instance.  This method would prove very helpful for tracking the character count of a document.

    Thanks,

    Hello John,

    The statistics option was indeed removed from the UI of the demos in the latest versions. However, you can easily add a button in the Ribbon UI and handle the click event like this:

    private void Statistics_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {           
        DocumentStatisticsInfo statisticsInfo = this.radRichTextBox.Document.GetStatisticsInfo();
        MessageBox.Show(statisticsInfo.ToString(), "Document Statistics", MessageBoxButton.OK);
    }

    You can also use the properties of the DocumentStatisticsInfo class to prepare a different string using the properties listed in my previous post.

    I hope this helps.
