Remarks

The BootstrapRichEdit class specifies a visual Rich Text Editor control to create, load, modify, print, save and convert rich formatted text files.

BootstrapRichEdit-class

To work properly, the BootstrapRichEdit requires setting the BootstrapRichEdit.WorkDirectory property to a folder that contains rich text documents in your project.

To programmatically load a document into the BootstrapRichEdit control, use the BootstrapRichEdit.Open method. To save the active document in code, use the BootstrapRichEdit.Save method.

ASPx
CS

<dx:BootstrapRichEdit ID="RichEdit1" runat="server" />

<input type="submit"/>

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
   if(!IsPostBack) {
        string workingDirectory = Context.Request.MapPath("~/App_Data/Documents");
        RichEdit1.WorkDirectory = workingDirectory;
        RichEdit1.Open(Path.Combine(workingDirectory, "SampleDocument.docx"));
    }
}

Note

The BootstrapRichEdit control provides you with a comprehensive client-side functionality, implemented using JavaScript code:

The control’s client-side equivalent is represented by the BootstrapClientRichEdit class.
On the client side, the client object can be accessed directly by the name specified by the BootstrapRichEdit.ClientInstanceName property.

The control’s client-side API is enabled if the BootstrapRichEdit.EnableClientSideAPI property is set to true, or the BootstrapRichEdit.ClientInstanceName property is defined.
