Use as Rich Content Viewer

To use RadRichTextEditor as a rich content viewer you have to disable the user from editing its content. This is done via the IsReadOnly property. You just have to set it to true.


this.radRichTextEditor.IsReadOnly = true;

Me.radRichTextEditor.IsReadOnly = True

In addition to the IsReadOnly property, there are several other properties that can be used to control the response of RadRichTextEditor towards the user actions against it:

  • Enabled - setting this property to false will disable the entire control. The user won't be able to enter any input in it and to scroll the contents.

  • IsSelectionEnabled - setting this property to false will disable the user to perform any selection inside the RadRichTextEditor control.

  • Focusable - setting this property to false will exclude the RadRichTextEditor control from the tab navigation.
