Is there a list of objects that are supported by the RichText Control?
I have a word document (Original.jpg) and when i open it using the RichText control it loses alot of the formatting (Saved.jpg).
Hi,
Thank you for your post. I have been looking into your question and currently we do not provide a public list with all the supported features of Word document which can be visualized correctly in XamRichTextEditor control. Could you please tell me which elements from your Word file cannot be rendered correctly?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Attached is the original word file and the file saved using the control.
Your assistance is appreciated.
Hello,
Thank you for your reply. I have been looking into your scenario and the XamRichTextEditor is designed to display the same content as the MS Word in its default Page Layout view. As mentioned here:
http://help.infragistics.com/Help/Doc/WPF/2014.1/CLR4.0/html/InfragisticsWPF4.Controls.Editors.XamRichTextEditor.v14.1~Infragistics.Controls.Editors.XamRichTextEditor.html,
the XamRichTextEditor is using the Web Layout view. When loading a document in the XamRichTextEditor, its appearance should be similar to appearance of the MS Word document when the Web Layout view is selected.
I tested the XamRichTextEditor importing the provided Word file and specific fields are not supported and they are visualized with red background in the control. My suggestion is to submit a new product idea to support Page Layout view listing the elements that are not visualized correctly.
Steps to create your idea:
The benefits of submitting the product idea yourself include:
Direct communication with our product management team regarding your product idea.
Notifications whenever new information regarding your idea becomes available.
Additional benefits of the Product Idea system include:
Ability to vote on your favorite product ideas to let us know which ones are the most important to you. You will have ten votes for this and can change which ideas you are voting for at any time.
Allow you to shape the future of our products by requesting new controls and products altogether.
You and other developers can discuss existing product ideas with members of our Product Management team.
The product ideas site allows you to track the progress of your ideas at any time, see how many votes it got, read comments from other developers in the community, and see if someone from the product team has additional questions for you.
Is there a public URL where we can look for product road maps? A large purchasing decision was based on Infragistics webinars touting the rich text editor as "Word Compatible"-- and it's far from it.
1. Can NOT print. This alone makes it not Word compatible.
2. Web view only. No concept of paper or margins.
3. "Complex" images are not supported (yeah, really...) and that leaves us in an ugly position facing customers where a Word doc with images will not migrate as expected.
Perhaps I'm over reacting a bit, but IMHO this control is a "buyer beware" type of marketing scheme and is immature compared to Word or Word Pad even.
And, yes, I am frustrated over this control's immaturity compared to other Infragistics controls that I've been using.
Sorry for the delay.
No more help is needed.
Thank you.
