guys,
I downloaded the sample app for the richtexteditor in the grid. If the column is a reguar part of the grid, it works flawlessly, but the second I make it a preview row column, i get the rtf code view. Any suggestions?
See pictures below that show the same field (one as regular column, other as preview colum) that are rendered differently.
I am using 10.2 and the latest service release. Heavy on the app stlying
Hey
I am using it to display rich tech format that I use for Crystal Reports.
My software is so big already that I cannot justify writing a translation program between the two. I'm really kind of shocked that you guys have not made it interpret rich text because anything done in this control is not really compatible with any other windows programs without writing a translator. Oh well, I really love your guys' controls... certainly not a deal breaker.
Thanks for your help... I am thinking of using your control to write my own report writer and get rid of crappy crystal reports... am i correct in assuming that your rich text editor control works with your document object?

You are correct, it does not support Rich Text, it's a proprietary XML format. But it does a lot of the same things that Rich Text does.
Hello Philip,
Please look at the following link to find more information about UltraFormattedTextEditor.

let me know if you have any further questions.

I'm not certain but I don't think the AutoPreviewField column uses embeddable editors, so that would preclude the use of the RichTextEmbeddableEditor therein. Incidentally, we consider that approach to be obsolete as we have since added a control to our suite, UltraFormattedTextEditor, which is a native .NET replacement for the RichTextBox control. However, if I am correct about the AutoPreviewField column not using embeddable editors, I'm afraid this information doesn't help you, since the UltraFormattedTextEditor provides an embeddable editor to the column.
