Content Controls for RichTextBox

Telerik UI for WPF - Document processing content controls for RIchTextBox

The Content Controls for the RichTextBox for WPF enable users to add specific semantics, like restricting input, modifying editing behavior, etc., to parts of a given document. The content controls can be defined on Block, Inline, Row or Cell level and can be nested inside one another.

Currently, the supported content controls are the following: 

<div bcx0"="">

  • Rich Text: represents a block of rich text, where you can contain formatted text or other items (e.g. pictures, tables or even other content controls). It is the least restrictive content control and can contain more or less anything.  

  • Plain Text: a block of plain text and its content can only consist of a single paragraph or table cell. 

  • Picture content control: It can be used inside templates, has the ability to add an image placeholder which can later be edited to contain a picture in a template. 

  • Repeating Section: it contains at least one whole paragraph of text (Repeating Section Item) that can be repeated several times. 

  • Check Box: The content control can be used to represent a binary choice. The default values are “checked” and “unchecked”, but it can contain any pair of symbols defined in any font installed on the current machine. 

  • Combo Box: In a combo box, you can select an item from a list of choices, or you can provide your own custom text.  

  • Drop-Down List: Unlike the combo box, the contents of a drop-down list should be one of the pre-defined choices. 

  • Date Picker: It can be used in a template or form to indicate that a valid date should be entered. 

The RichTextBox content controls have both common and specific properties. The common properties, shared by all available content controls, while the specific ones apply to only a few.

You can work with the RichTextBox content controls either programmatically, where you can manipulate existing content controls or create new ones, or directly with the content controls’ UI, where you can easily create new content controls via the user interface.

 

Streamlining the PdfViewer and PdfProcessing Models (Preview)

Mergers tend to produce a powerful new entity and our team has been working towards utilizing the underlying architecture of both the PdfViewer and PdfProcessing, which will allow us to achieve feature parity. Additionally, this is the first step towards enabling editing functionality into the PdfViewer.With this release, we are announcing the immediate availability of the new model which is still in preview and optional for the time being. 
Stay tuned and keep an eye on our blog for more information, we will soon reach full feature parity and switch to the new model entirely!

Exception Handling in PdfProcessing

The PdfProcessing library is now equipped with an exception handling mechanism that allows the interpretation and handling of the document when it is imported or loaded. The new feature introduces two events for unhandled exceptions – one is triggered when an exception occurs during the import, while the latter occurs during the loading process.
