XamRichTextEditor Text Copy Not Working Correctly
posted

I have a Xamrichtexteditor control, for which i bound a table, as below: 

string error = "";
TableNode tn = xamRichTextEditor.Document.InsertTable(0, dt.Columns.Count, dt.Rows.Count, out error);
tn.Settings = new TableSettings();
int cRow = 0, cCol = 0;

tn.Rows[1].Cells[2].Settings = new TableCellSettings
{
FitText = true,
Wrap = true,
ColumnSpan = 4,
};

tn.Rows[1].ChildNodes.RemoveAt(10);
tn.Rows[1].ChildNodes.RemoveAt(10);
tn.Rows[1].ChildNodes.RemoveAt(9);

tn.Rows[1].Cells[6].Settings = new TableCellSettings
{
FitText = true,
Wrap = true,
ColumnSpan = 3,
};

tn.Rows[1].ChildNodes.RemoveAt(8);
tn.Rows[1].ChildNodes.RemoveAt(7);

if (error == null)
{
foreach (TableRowNode trn in tn.ChildNodes)
{
cCol = 0;
foreach (TableCellNode tcn in trn.ChildNodes)
{
ParagraphNode pn = tcn.ChildNodes[0] as ParagraphNode;
pn.SetText(dt.Rows[cRow][cCol].ToString());
cCol++;
}
cRow++;
}
}

And when this text is copied (either through ctrl+c or from the context menu) on to a notepad or excel sometimes the content is getting copied correctly , and sometime it is getting transposed after copy.

I cannot somehow upload an attachment, as this forum is giving me some error.

At least i can post the correct text copied, and the incorrect copied text.

When the below lines are commented in the above code , it seems to work fine.

tn.Rows[1].Cells[2].Settings = new TableCellSettings
{
FitText = true,
Wrap = true,
ColumnSpan = 4,
};

tn.Rows[1].ChildNodes.RemoveAt(10);
tn.Rows[1].ChildNodes.RemoveAt(10);
tn.Rows[1].ChildNodes.RemoveAt(9);

tn.Rows[1].Cells[6].Settings = new TableCellSettings
{
FitText = true,
Wrap = true,
ColumnSpan = 3,
};

tn.Rows[1].ChildNodes.RemoveAt(8);
tn.Rows[1].ChildNodes.RemoveAt(7);

Can you help me with the correct usage of the  ColumnSpan property of teh TableCellSettings class, which is causing the issue.

    Hope this helps, you can create a new project or in your existing project add a window and copy the contents i used in the xaml and xaml.cs file , and run the project referring this window.  

    NOTE: When cells which are col spanned, are copied and pasted on a text editor or excel spreadsheet , the values are not getting copied in teh same way as in the source.

    Hello Sowmya,

    I would not expect the ColumnSpan property to create an issue in this case, but if you have a sample project I would like to see it. Our forum threads only allow an attachment to be < 1MB in size, which could be why you are getting the error. Please delete the bin and obj folders of the sample project you are trying to attach prior to trying to attach your sample.

    Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns on this matter.
