Description

How to retrieve a list of all tables in the current selection in RadRichTextBox.

Solution

1. Create a copy of the selection as a new RadDocument using the CreateDocumentFromSelection method of the document's selection.

2. Iterate through the document and check for Table objects.

Here's an example implementation:

C#

     public List<Table> GetTablesInSelection()
     {
          var documentFromSelection = this.richTextBox.Document.Selection.CreateDocumentFromSelection();
          return documentFromSelection.EnumerateChildrenOfType<Table>().ToList();
     }
