Solution
RadRichTextEditor supports importing the content of different document types like DOCX, XAML, HTML, RTF, Plain text. To import a document you have to use a specific class that implements the IDocumentFormatProvider. The supported document providers in RadRichTextEditor are listed here. Once a document is imported in RadRichTextEditor, you can use its printing functionality.
Silent Printing of Word and HTML documents
namespace ConsoleApplicationSilentPrintRTE
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
PrintWordDocument(@"..\..\Sample.docx");
PrintHtmlDocument(@"..\..\Sample.html");
}
private static void PrintHtmlDocument(string fileName)
{
Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadRichTextEditor radRichTextEditor1 = new RadRichTextEditor();
Telerik.WinForms.Documents.FormatProviders.Html.HtmlFormatProvider provider = new HtmlFormatProvider();
using (System.IO.FileStream inputStream = File.OpenRead(fileName))
{
radRichTextEditor1.Document = provider.Import(inputStream);
}
radRichTextEditor1.LoadElementTree();
radRichTextEditor1.Print();
}
private static void PrintWordDocument(string fileName)
{
Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadRichTextEditor radRichTextEditor1 = new RadRichTextEditor();
Telerik.WinForms.Documents.FormatProviders.OpenXml.Docx.DocxFormatProvider provider = new DocxFormatProvider();
using (System.IO.FileStream inputStream = File.OpenRead(fileName))
{
radRichTextEditor1.Document = provider.Import(inputStream);
}
radRichTextEditor1.LoadElementTree();
radRichTextEditor1.Print();
}
}
}
Module Module1
Sub Main()
PrintWordDocument("..\..\Sample.docx")
PrintHtmlDocument("..\..\Sample.html")
End Sub
Private Sub PrintHtmlDocument(ByVal fileName As String)
Dim radRichTextEditor1 As Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadRichTextEditor = New RadRichTextEditor()
Dim provider As Telerik.WinForms.Documents.FormatProviders.Html.HtmlFormatProvider = New HtmlFormatProvider()
Using inputStream As System.IO.FileStream = File.OpenRead(fileName)
radRichTextEditor1.Document = provider.Import(inputStream)
End Using
radRichTextEditor1.LoadElementTree()
radRichTextEditor1.Print()
End Sub
Private Sub PrintWordDocument(ByVal fileName As String)
Dim radRichTextEditor1 As Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadRichTextEditor = New RadRichTextEditor()
Dim provider As Telerik.WinForms.Documents.FormatProviders.OpenXml.Docx.DocxFormatProvider = New DocxFormatProvider()
Using inputStream As System.IO.FileStream = File.OpenRead(fileName)
radRichTextEditor1.Document = provider.Import(inputStream)
End Using
radRichTextEditor1.LoadElementTree()
radRichTextEditor1.Print()
End Sub
End Module
The above approach can be followed with the rest of the document providers that RadRichTextEditor offers.
