rich text editor in c sharp

Question

hi.

I want to use a rich text editor like TinyMCE in my windows aplication. Is there any solution for this?

Answer 1

You could take a look at AvalonEdit - there is an article on CodeProject that will tell you more about it.

Answer 2

If you are using WinForms (not WPF), you can check the RicherTextBox article on CodeProject. It's basically a UserControl with a docked RichTextBox control and a toolbar.

As a side note, RichTextBox control in .Net is an older version of Rich text box, which doesn't support many formatting options. So, you can try using this snippet to override the underlying implementation with a newer version of Rich text box.

Answer 3

The most comprehensive one (winforms, javascript and WPF) I've used is the Liquid Richtextbox. It's WPF but includes:

• To/From XML
• To/From basic XHTML
• Spell checker
• Changing the font/styling of the selection
• Lists
• Tables
• Lots of selection related functionality
• Free
