SfRichTextBoxAdv

The SfRichTextBoxAdv control validates DocumentAdv instance internally when the value of Document property is updated. It ensures that minimal child elements are available in each container elements like,

• At least one section should be available in document

• At least one paragraph should be available in each table cell, section body, header and footer

• At least one row should be available in each table

• At least one cell should be available in each table row

• At least one paragraph should be available after a table

NOTE

In earlier versions, this internal validation to ensure minimal child element is not performed.

The following code example demonstrates how to create a document with a section, a table and a paragraph from scratch using v15.4.0.20 and earlier versions.

c#

// Creates new instance of SfRichTextBoxAdv control.
SfRichTextBoxAdv richTextBoxAdv = new SfRichTextBoxAdv();

// Creates a new document.
richTextBoxAdv.Document = new DocumentAdv();

// Creates a new section and add it to the document.
SectionAdv section = new SectionAdv();
richTextBoxAdv.Document.Sections.Add(section);

// Creates a 1 x 1 table.
TableAdv table = new TableAdv();
TableRowAdv row = new TableRowAdv();
TableCellAdv cell = new TableCellAdv();
cell.Blocks.Add(new ParagraphAdv());

// Adds the table to the section.
section.Blocks.Add(new TableAdv());

// Adds a paragraph the section.
section.Blocks.Add(new ParagraphAdv());

The following code example demonstrates how to create a document with a section, a table and a paragraph from scratch using v16.1.0.24 and later versions.

c#

// Creates new instance of SfRichTextBoxAdv control.
SfRichTextBoxAdv richTextBoxAdv = new SfRichTextBoxAdv();

// Creates a new document.
richTextBoxAdv.Document = new DocumentAdv();
// A section with an empty paragraph will be added internally to ensure minimal child elements.

// Adds a 1 x 1 table to the section.
richTextBoxAdv.Document.Sections[0].Blocks.Insert(0, new TableAdv());
