To reproduce: - Export document with an inline UI elements to HTML. - Import the document. Workaround: - Manually export the UI elements information and then create new UI elements when the document is imported: void ImportSettings_InlineUIContainerImporting(object sender, InlineUIContainerImportingEventArgs e) { PropertyInfo property = typeof(InlineUIContainerImportingEventArgs).GetProperty("Handled"); property.GetSetMethod(true).Invoke(e, new object[] { true }); ObjectHandle handle = Activator.CreateInstance("Telerik.WinControls.UI", e.CommentContent); Object control = handle.Unwrap(); InlineUIContainer container = new InlineUIContainer(); RadElementUIContainer radContainer = new RadElementUIContainer(control as RadElement); container.UiElement = radContainer; container.Height = 30; container.Width = 300; e.TargetParagraph.Inlines.Add(container); } //export private void btnWrite_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { HtmlFormatProvider provider = new HtmlFormatProvider(); provider.ExportSettings.InlineUIContainerExporting += ExportSettings_InlineUIContainerExporting; File.WriteAllText(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop) + "\\TelerikUITest.html", provider.Export(this.radRichTextEditor1.Document)); } void ExportSettings_InlineUIContainerExporting(object sender, Telerik.WinForms.Documents.FormatProviders.Html.InlineUIContainerExportingEventArgs e) { string control = ((RadElementUIContainer)e.InlineUIContainer.UiElement).Element.ToString(); e.CommentContent = control; }
