The MAUI RadRichTextEditor is HTML-only with no track changes, revisions, comments, or DOCX/RadDocument support, and is itself WebView-based, so it doesn't address our editing workflow which rely on all these features that were in the WPF version. I guess we will have to stay in WPF.

Hello Daniel,

At the moment of writing this reply, adding the RichTextBox control as a component to our WinUI suite is not part of our plan. I see that editor control is highly required in your application. What you could consider is migrating to Telerik UI for MAUI. We have a RichTextEditor component that you can use as an editor. Applications developed on .NET MAUI run on WinUI 3. You can check it out.

Another approach that comes to mind is to embed a .NET MAUI element in a WinUI app. You can check the https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/platform-integration/native-embedding?view=net-maui-10.0&pivots=devices-android help article for more information.

We're in the process to convert our WPF applicatitons to WinUI and the only control that matter is the richtextbox (we bought the DevCraft suite in the first place mainly for that control). Now we're stuck with no editor in our WinUI application and we must stop development on it.
