ADD. RadRichTextBox - add support for line numbering

Support for opening word templates in RadRichTextBox

IMPROVE. RadRichTextBox - should be able to run with .NET Framework 3.5, rather than 4.0

RadRichTextBoxElement to be a custom editor of RadGridView

ADD. Export of Office 2010 dotx document templates.

ADD. RadRichTextBox - import text boxes from docx files

Currently it is not possible to control the HTML exported from RadRichTextBox and strip styles or embed them.

Currently this product cannot read the text contained in RichTextBox.

The bullets can have their own alignment. Implement import and export of this setting.

In MS Word, this alignment can be set through the Numbering dropdown -> Define New Number Format

When a table cell contains nested table, and the paragraph after the nested table is empty, this paragraph could be collapsed, as in MS Word. This gives better look to nested tables, similar to how browsers visualize nested HTML tables.
Note that the paragraph should be visualized when the caret moves the position inside the paragraph.

Currently the paragraph is visualized with its full height, making the layout different than MS Word - it appears that there are redundant space after the nested table.

To reproduce: try to hide the caret: 
this.radRichTextEditor1.CaretWidth = 0;

Workaround:

//Flow layout
this.radRichTextEditor1.LayoutMode = DocumentLayoutMode.Flow;
Telerik.WinControls.RichTextEditor.UI.DocumentWebLayoutPresenter webLayoutPresenter =
    this.radRichTextEditor1.RichTextBoxElement.ActiveEditorPresenter as Telerik.WinControls.RichTextEditor.UI.DocumentWebLayoutPresenter;
webLayoutPresenter.Caret.Width = 0;

//Page layout
this.radRichTextEditor1.LayoutMode = DocumentLayoutMode.Paged;
Telerik.WinControls.RichTextEditor.UI.DocumentPrintLayoutPresenter activeEditorPresenter1 = 
    this.radRichTextEditor1.RichTextBoxElement.ActiveEditorPresenter as DocumentPrintLayoutPresenter;
activeEditorPresenter1.Caret.Width = 0;

Workaround: load an empty docx document in the RadRichTextEditor and use it as a template
public RadDocument ImportDocx()
{
    RadDocument document = null;
    IDocumentFormatProvider provider = new DocxFormatProvider();
    OpenFileDialog openDialog = new OpenFileDialog();
    openDialog.Filter = "Documents|*.docx";
    openDialog.Multiselect = false;
    DialogResult dialogResult = openDialog.ShowDialog();
    if (dialogResult == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK)
    {
        using (Stream stream = openDialog.OpenFile())
        {
            document = provider.Import(stream);
        }
    }
    return document;
}

To reproduce:
- Add a word, press tab the add another word.
- Export the document using HtmlFormatProvider.
- Import the same document.
- The tab is interpreted like 7 spaces. 

To reproduce:
- Click the InsertMergeFiled button before setting the data source.
- Set the data source.
- Click the button again.
- There are no items in it.
 

Workaround:
Friend Class MyRichTextEditorRibbonBar
    Inherits RichTextEditorRibbonBar



    Protected Overrides Sub dropDownButtonInsertMergeField_DropDownOpening(sender As Object, e As CancelEventArgs)
        MyBase.dropDownButtonInsertMergeField_DropDownOpening(sender, e)
        If Me.dropDownButtonInsertMergeField.Items.Count = 0 Then
            Me.dropDownButtonInsertMergeField.Items.Add(New RadItem)
        End If
    End Sub

End Class

To reproduce: please refer to the attached gif file

Add a custom tab in the ribbon UI and a RadDropDownListElement bound to a list of strings. The first item is selected by default. Insert a table by using the ribbon UI and try to get programmatically the RadDropDownListElement.SelectedValue/Index. It is null/-1 although the text is correct.

Workaround:

public class CustomRichTextEditorRibbonBar : RichTextEditorRibbonBar
{
           protected override void CreateChildItems(RadElement parent)
    {
        base.CreateChildItems(parent);
        FieldInfo fi = typeof(RadRibbonBar).GetField("ribbonBarElement", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
        RadRibbonBarElement ribbonBarElement = fi.GetValue(this) as RadRibbonBarElement;

        ribbonBarElement = new CustomRadRibbonBarElement();
        fi.SetValue(this, ribbonBarElement);
        this.RootElement.Children.Add(ribbonBarElement);

        ribbonBarElement.CommandTabSelecting +=
            delegate (object sender, CommandTabSelectingEventArgs args) { OnCommandTabSelecting(args); };
        ribbonBarElement.CommandTabSelected +=
            delegate (object sender, CommandTabEventArgs args) { OnCommandTabSelected(args); };

        ribbonBarElement.ExpandedStateChanged += delegate (object sender, EventArgs args)
        {
            this.OnRibbonBarExpandedStateChanged(args);
        };


    }
}

public class CustomRadRibbonBarElement : RadRibbonBarElement
{
  
    protected override float GetMaximumTabContentHeight()
    {
        return 104; 
    }
}

How to reproduce: create a document like the one below, then try to add a comment  for an element in the paragraph with the bookmarks
Public Class Form2
    Sub New()

        InitializeComponent()

        Dim document As New RadDocument()
        Dim section As New Section()
        Dim paragraph As New Paragraph()
        Dim span As New Span("Content prior range[")
        Dim span2 As New Span("]Content after range")
        Dim readOnlyContent As New Span("READ ONLY")
        Dim rangeStart As New ReadOnlyRangeStart()
        Dim rangeEnd As New ReadOnlyRangeEnd()
        rangeEnd.PairWithStart(rangeStart)
        paragraph.Inlines.Add(span)
        paragraph.Inlines.Add(rangeStart)
        paragraph.Inlines.Add(readOnlyContent)
        paragraph.Inlines.Add(rangeEnd)
        paragraph.Inlines.Add(span2)
        section.Blocks.Add(paragraph)
        document.Sections.Add(section)

        Dim bmSection As New Section()
        Dim bmParagraph As New Paragraph()
        Dim bmSpan As New Span("Content prior bookmark[")
        Dim bmSpan2 As New Span("]Content after bookmark")
        Dim bmContent As New Span("Content in Bookmark")
        Dim bmRangeEnd As New BookmarkRangeEnd()
        Dim bmRangeStart = DirectCast(bmRangeEnd.CreatePairedStart(), BookmarkRangeStart)
        bmRangeStart.Name = System.Guid.NewGuid().ToString()
        bmParagraph.Inlines.Add(bmSpan)
        bmParagraph.Inlines.Add(bmRangeStart)
        bmParagraph.Inlines.Add(bmContent)
        bmParagraph.Inlines.Add(bmRangeEnd)
        bmParagraph.Inlines.Add(bmSpan2)
        bmSection.Blocks.Add(bmParagraph)
        document.Sections.Add(bmSection)

        Me.RadRichTextEditor1.Document = document

    End Sub
End Class
