CellRange.GetRichText() Method

Gets the rich text string contained in a cell.

Namespace: DevExpress.Spreadsheet

Assembly: DevExpress.Spreadsheet.v25.1.Core.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Spreadsheet.Core

Declaration

C#

RichTextString GetRichText()

VB.NET

Function GetRichText As RichTextString

Returns

Type	Description
RichTextString	A RichTextString object that is a cell’s rich text.

Remarks

Use the CellRange.HasRichText property to check whether a cell contains rich formatted text. To retrieve rich text from a cell, use the GetRichText property.

For the cell where formatting is applied to a whole content, the GetRichText method returns a RichTextString with a single run containing only the cell text. The run’s RichTextRun.Font is null.

If a cell contains a non-textual value (for example, number or date), the returned RichTextString contains an empty text.

If you call the GetRichText method for a cell range, it returns a non-empty rich text only when all cells in this range have the same text with identical rich format settings; otherwise, GetRichText returns an empty text with an empty RichTextString.Runs collection.
