Release Telerik UI for WPF 2025.4.1111 (2025 Q4)

The RichTextBox internal logic that imports .docx documents (DocxFormatProvider) doesn't support elements that don't need direct content, but have both start and end tags. Instead such elements should use self-closing tags. 

For example, instead of <w:vertAlign w:val="baseline"></w:vertAlign> it should be <w:vertAlign w:val="baseline"/>

When such element is read during import, issues may occur. Two main known issues here are with the w:vertAlign and Relationship tags.

Using

<w:vertAlign w:val="baseline"></w:vertAlign> 

instead of

<w:vertAlign w:val="baseline"/> 

throws NullReferenceException with the following stack trace:

System.NullReferenceException: 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.'

To work this around, import the document with the WordsProcessing library. If you need to display it in RadRichTextBox, you can export it again using the WordsProcessing library. This will normalize the tags. Then import it again using the RadDocument's DocxFormatProvider.

 var dplDocxFormatProvider = new Telerik.Windows.Documents.Flow.FormatProviders.Docx.DocxFormatProvider();
 RadFlowDocument flowDocument = dplDocxFormatProvider.Import(File.ReadAllBytes("../../../test.docx"), null);

 var docBytes = dplDocxFormatProvider.Export(flowDocument, null);
 File.WriteAllBytes("../../../modified-doc.docx", docBytes);

 var rtbDocxFormatProvider= new Telerik.Windows.Documents.FormatProviders.OpenXml.Docx.DocxFormatProvider();
 RadDocument document = rtbDocxFormatProvider.Import(File.ReadAllBytes("../../../modified-doc.docx"));

Currently, when you write down a web address (e.g. https://www.google.com) and move the caret outside of the address text (usually by pressing Space or Enter), the text is automatically wrapped in a hyperlink. Any further updates on the text won't update the underlying hyperlink address.

Add an option to auto-detect changes in the hyperlink text. This is valid only when the text matches the underlying link.

Release 2026.1.211 (2026 Q1)

FormatException is thrown during the import of a table coming from a docx document when the application culture is "sv-SE". This happens when the column width in the document is a floating point number (ex: 120.65). The Swedish culture uses "," as decimal separator and " " as the number group separator, which makes any invariant decimal value (like 120.65) invalid during standard parsing (ex: float.Parse("120.65")).

Stacktrace:

FormatException: The input string '4514.5' was not in the correct format.

To work this around, switch to InvariantCulture during the import and return the original culture after that.

 var cultureCache = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture;
 Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;
 Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;
 var provider= new DocxFormatProvider();
 rtb.Document = provider.Import(stream);
 Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = cultureCache;
 Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = cultureCache;

The line break symbol (Shift+Enter) is treated as a text character and it gets measured in the document position calculations executed when you click at the end of the document (somewhere after the line break symbol which ends the line). 

This causes two visual issues. The first one is that the caret goes after the line break symbol, which means that when ShowFormattingSymbols is False an empty space (non-existing in the document) is added at the end of the line. Even if ShowFormattingSymbols=true and the line break symbol gets display, it is not expected for ,the caret to get positioned after the symbol.

The second issues is that, when you start typing after you click at the end of the line, the caret position is corrected, but this leads to a jumps of the caret with one character to the left, which brings an unpleasant visual glitch.

To work this around, you can create a custom MouseSelectionHandler and override its RegisterDocumentMouseDown method. This will allow you to check if the caret is placed after the line break symbol and manually update the caret position if that is the case.

public class CustomMouseSelectionHandler : MouseSelectionHandler
{
    private IDocumentEditorPresenter presenter;
    private RadDocument document;

    public CustomMouseSelectionHandler(RadDocument document, IDocumentEditorPresenter presenter) 
        : base(document, presenter)
    {
        this.presenter = presenter;
        this.document = document;
    }      

    public override void RegisterDocumentMouseDown(bool ctrlPressed, bool shiftPressed, Point position, UIElement originalSource = null, SourceType source = SourceType.Mouse)
    {
        base.RegisterDocumentMouseDown(ctrlPressed, shiftPressed, position, originalSource, source);
        var box = this.document.CaretPosition.GetCurrentSpanBox();
        if (box != null && box.AssociatedSpan.Text == "¬")
        {
            document.CaretPosition.MoveToCurrentLineEnd();
        }
    }
}
To register the custom handler, use the MouseSelectionHandler property of the ActiveEditorPresenter.

 this.richTextBox.Loaded += (s, args) =>
 {
     var presenter = (DocumentPresenterBase)this.richTextBox.ActiveEditorPresenter;
     presenter.MouseSelectionHandler = new CustomMouseSelectionHandler(this.richTextBox.Document, presenter);
 };

The caret position is wrong on down arrow key press when moving between two lines separated by a line break. This happens when you type longer text in the first line and then press the down arrow key to move to the next line, which is shorter. The caret should be placed at the end of the second line, but instead it is positioned few characters before the end of the line.

Currently, when you insert a content control using TextProperties, CheckBoxProperties, etc., the applied font is the default one for the content controls. Instead, it should use the font of the associated span/paragraph where it was inserted. For example, if you type "Hello world" and set its font size to 36, then place the cursor between "Hello" and "world" and insert a textbox content control there, the font size of the textbox will be something like 10, instead of 36.

Synchronize the font properties and make sure that the content control uses same font as the existing paragraph/span.

Currently, the SdtProperties classes (ex: DateProperties) can be extended by overriding the GetBuilder() method. This allows you to implement custom ISdtBuilder that creates the document content of the SDT form. However, the custom properties are not taken into account during import/export. Consider adding some kind of custom information about the custom SdtProperties type during export and restore it during import. Or at the least provide API (like an event or method override) that can intercept the creation of the SdtProperties during import which will allow you to replace the default SdtProperties object.

When a DropDownList SDT form is saved in a XAML document and then imported with the XamlFormatProvider, an extra ListItem entry is added in the items collection of the DropDownList. The extra entry is the default "Choose an item".

To work this around, iterate all ComboBoxProperties and manually remove duplicates of the "Choose an item" entry.

var dropDownLists = radRichTextBox.Document.EnumerateChildrenOfType<SdtRangeStart>()
     .Where(x => x.SdtProperties is ComboBoxProperties)
     .Select(x => x.SdtProperties).OfType<ComboBoxProperties>();
 var defaultItemString = LocalizationManager.GetString("Documents_ContentControlsGenerator_ListItem");
 foreach (var item in dropDownLists)
 {
     if (item.Items.Count > 0 && item.Items.Any(x => x.Value != defaultItemString) && item.Items.Any(x => x.Value == defaultItemString))
     {
         var occurrence = item.Items.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Value == defaultItemString);
         while (occurrence != null)
         {
             item.Items.Remove(occurrence);
             occurrence = item.Items.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Value == defaultItemString);
         }
     }

Moving the caret position after the SdtRangeEnd and changing the span properties (via Style or by using the ChangeFontFamily, ChangeForeColor, etc, methods of RadDocumentEditor) doesn't change the style of the text entered after the SdtRangeEnd.
