How to: Mark Text as Hidden

The following example describes how to use Word Processing Document API to mark text as hidden.

The code sample below hides the third document paragraph:

using DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.API.Native;

using (var wordProcessor = new RichEditDocumentServer())
{
  wordProcessor.LoadDocument("Document.docx");
  Document document = wordProcessor.Document;

  // Obtain the third paragraph:
  DocumentRange hiddenRange = document.Paragraphs[2].Range;
  CharacterProperties hiddenTextProperties =
    document.BeginUpdateCharacters(hiddenRange);

  // Mark the paragraph as hidden:
  hiddenTextProperties.Hidden = true;
  document.EndUpdateCharacters(hiddenTextProperties);
}
