I was so very excited to see that Telerik had released a beta version of the editor functionality for use with Windows however upon use of the control in my environment I was sorely disappointed with the deliverable. I have brought my concerns to the attention of Telerik and was surprised at their lack of understanding.
Succinctly, here is my concern… The Telerikc RichTextBox is only concerned with the format of the output, not the structure of the output.
- Heading tags are removed from your input/output and replaced with a programmatically created style (that does match what you have assigned). As heading tags are key to my usage this is quite a deterrent to my use.
- You cannot assign a list of CSS styles to be used in the control that will permit standardization of the format.
The alternative to using the Telerik RichTextBox is to use the Telerik RadEditor within a browser pane in your WinForm. While I find this conceptually inappropriate since it provides control over both format and structure I have had to take this approach.
