Hi Mendel,

There's a sample included with NetAdvantage that demonstrates embedding a RichTextBox into a grid cell using the Embeddable Editor architecture. It's not simple or trivial, though. The RichTextBox is not really a native DotNet control, it's a wrapper around the Windows RichTextBox and as such, it doesn't support common DotNet Control methods like Draw properly. The sample works around it, but I think it uses some Windows Api's and such, so like I said, it's not simple.

Anyway, the sample is called "RichTextEditor" and it's under the samples under Grid. If you have a relatively recent version of the suite, it will be under a Legacy folder.

Any suggestions for a workaround to display classic rtf text in an ultraGrid.

Thanks

Hi Thomson,

I'm not entirely sure I understand your question. It sounds to me like your data is RichText. There aren't any Infragistics WinForms controls that support RichText format. We have a FormattedTextEditor, which supports a proprietary XML format similar to html which can display text with colors and fonts, but it does not support the Rtf format specifically.

I don't really know about the ASP.Net controls. Have you tried posting in the ASP.Net forum?

Hi,

I have 2 applications. One is in .Net Winforms (think client) based and other is an admin web site (asp.net web forms based and NOT MVC) .  We are planning to use a Rich Text control on winforms application. The default values to winform rich control will be retrieved from server . The server values (rich text content) needs to be updated from an asp.net web form (web site) . I would like to know which infragistics rich control can be used both in Winforms and Asp.net webform which are compatible to each other.

Thanks

Thomson
