ApplyStyle lets you set a style but I want to end a current style. For example I want to remove the bold style. I can do this by ApplyStyle font-weigth:normal but then the text will have a forced style of normal. I want to remove this style so that no font-weigth is specified for the remainder of the text.

Example:

123456789

1. Type "123"

2. ApplyStyle( "font-weight:bold" )

3. Type "456"

4. Clear style "font-weight" without having to specify a new fontweight style of "font-weight:normal". I want default.

5. Type "789"

How about this?

this.ultraFormattedTextEditor1.EditInfo.ClearAllStyleAttributes();

Or do you only want to clear the font-weight and nothing else? In that case, I think you would have to get the style and then re-apply the style without specifying a font-weight.

ClearAllStyleAttributes() would work. Unfourtnatley it does not work as I think it would. Maybe it's a bug?

Ex:

1. ApplyStyle bold

2. Type "123" (Displayed in bold)

3. Call ClearAllStyleAttributes()

4. Type "456". ( The string "456" is getting displayed/formatted with bold even though I've just called Clear )

Output: 123456

Expected output: 123456

Selecting the entire string "123456" after it's typed and then calling ClearAllStyleAttributes() works but thats not what I want. I want to change the current style for new typed characters rather than by selecting already existing text.

Hi,

Ah, I see. I missed that part - I thought you were trying to modify existing text, not change the next characters that are being typed by the user.

I tried this out and it looks like the ClearAllStyleAttributes method is supposed to be doing what you want, but it's not working. This is a bug.

I'm going to forward this thread over to Infragistics Developer Support so that they can write this up and get it fixed.

In the mean time, I notice that using keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+B work correctly. So you might be able to acheive what you want in a roundabout way by toggling the states that are on.Something like this:

            StyleInfo si = this.ultraFormattedTextEditor1.EditInfo.GetCurrentStyle();
            if (si.Appearance.FontData.Bold == Infragistics.Win.DefaultableBoolean.True)
            {
                this.ultraFormattedTextEditor1.PerformAction(FormattedLinkEditorAction.ToggleBold, false, false);                
            }

            if (si.Appearance.FontData.Italic == Infragistics.Win.DefaultableBoolean.True)
            {
                this.ultraFormattedTextEditor1.PerformAction(FormattedLinkEditorAction.ToggleItalics, false, false);
            }
