Assembly: DevExpress.Blazor.RichEdit.v23.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Blazor.RichEdit

Declaration

public string Text { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
String	The text.

Remarks

The Text property returns the span content converted to plain text. In this case, images and shape objects are returned as the object replacement character () and fields are returned in their full notation (for instance, "{DATE}20/5/2021>").

The following example shows how you can use the Text property to find and delete words.
