How to use FlowDucument-property

[stehwn]

Hi,

my businessobject has text-properties of type FlowDocument (can be converted to rtf).
Is it possible to use the formatted FlowDocument for report-creation?

Hello,

We have added new static method which can help you load FlowDocument to richtext. New method will be available in prerelease build from 26 April. Please use following code for GetValueEvent of richtext component:

Code: Select all

System.IO.Stream stream = new System.IO.FileStream("d:\\test.xaml", System.IO.FileMode.Open);
string str = Stimulsoft.Report.Wpf.StiRtfHelper.ConvertFlowDocumentToRtf(stream);
e.Value = System.Xml.XmlConvert.EncodeName(StiRichText.PackRtf(str));

You need add reference to Stimulsoft.Report.Wpf.dll in ReferencedAssemblies property of report. You can do this in report designer. Also you can implement method ConvertFlowDocumentToRtf in report code. Here is source code of this method:

Code: Select all

public static string ConvertFlowDocumentToRtf(Stream stream)
        {
            RichTextBox richTextBox = new RichTextBox();

            TextRange documentTextRange = new TextRange(richTextBox.Document.ContentStart, richTextBox.Document.ContentEnd);
            documentTextRange.Load(stream, DataFormats.Xaml);

            MemoryStream tempStream = new MemoryStream();
            documentTextRange.Save(tempStream, DataFormats.Rtf);
            return System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetString(tempStream.GetBuffer());

        }

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hi,

I tested it and it works without any problems!

I let my businessobject do the converting, so I dont have to add references in the designer.
