Hello,
Please suggest me appropriate IG control. My requirement is: format text and also insert images. This text editor could be made as read only or as editable. It will be on a .net windows form.
Best case will be if I can get editor similar to editor where I am typing my this question but in a .net winform as a control.
Thanks and Regards
Vikas
If you go with the RichTextBox, then you can save to rtf and open that up in Word.
If you have NetAdvantage 2011.1, then you have the new Infragistics Word engine, which allows you to create Word documents without having MS Word installed.
There's also a component called UltraFormattedTextWordWriter, which will take the contents of an UltraFormattedLinkLabel or UltraFormattedTextEditor control and export it to MS Word.
But... the Infragistics Word engine only support WordML format. So this will work with Office2007 and Office2010. I'm not sure about Office2003. I think there might be a Service Pack that allows Office2003 to load up WordML files, but I'm not sure. You should check with Microsoft on that.
'UltraFormattedTextEditor' VS 'RichTextBox' control
Ultimately I have to show this data as report inside microsoft word 2003.
Question A: So can I use UltraFormattedTextEditor or I have to use RichTextBox control only?
Question B: Someone from IG team told us few months back in meeting about 'Word - without - word' in IG. what is 'Word - without - word' in IG?

Hi Vikas,
It sounds like you are looking for the UltraFormattedTextEditor control. This control allows you to do formatting and add images, similar to a RichTextBox control.
