WPF ConversationalUI - Possible to update the message with a async stream?

[Stephen]

Hi,

Im using conversationalUI in a WPF app and would like to update the message in realtime as my openAI response is streaming in to make the UX a better experience on long responses. This should update the message being displayed in realtime as the service is streaming in text.

I only see the ability to do a message.Add() option, I feel like there should also be a AddAsync() method. Is this even possible in this control? 

Thanks in advance!

Hello Stephen,

RadChat doesn't have a streaming feature  neither an example that shows how to bind to async service. 

To achieve your requirement, you can update the Text property of the associated TextMessage object. You can find this approach shown in the attached project. Can you give it a try and let me know if it helps?

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the response. I looked at the sample project and I think that will work as a nice workaround. Im off the project until next week but once I get back on it I will implement it and report back.

Thanks again!
