WPF RadRichTextDocument and InlineUiElement size

[Valentin]

Hello. 
I want to add Custom User control to RadDocument in RadRichTextBox. So I use InlineUiContainer to do that. And add it to paragraph.

And it looks so that I have to define height and width to make it so that it will take correct space in the document layout. If I skip this step then it looks like it takes zero width and height.
Looks strange. Because of course I don't know physical size of element in advance. As workaround I can do some "magic" with Loaded event and extract size of UiElement once it was rendered. And it works. But definitely it looks like a dirty code. 
I believe I miss something. Please help me. What am I doing wrong here? :)

By the way when I need to add InlineUiElement  to standard WPF RichTextBox it does all calculations of size by itself.

Hi Valentin,

Yes, this is a requirement in our framework. You can measure the item before adding it and set the size. Here is an example: 

Section section = new Section();
Paragraph paragraph = new Paragraph();
InlineUIContainer container = new InlineUIContainer();

var element = new Button() { Content = "Test" };
container.UiElement = element;

element.Measure(new Size(double.PositiveInfinity, double.PositiveInfinity));  

container.Height = element.DesiredSize.Height;
container.Width = element.DesiredSize.Width;

paragraph.Inlines.Add(new Span("Test"));
paragraph.Inlines.Add(container);
paragraph.Inlines.Add(new Span("Test"));
section.Blocks.Add(paragraph);
this.radRichTextBox.Document.Sections.Add(section);

I hope this helps. Should you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.

Regards,
