CharacterStyle Interface
Exposes methods and characteristics of a character style in a document.
Namespace: DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.API.Native
Assembly: DevExpress.RichEdit.v19.1.Core.dll
Declaration
Remarks
A style pertains to a document. It belongs to a particular document model, and you cannot add a style object from the style collection of one document to the style collection of another.
The following code snippet creates a new character style via the CharacterStyleCollection.CreateNew method, specifies style settings, adds it to the document style collection and applies the style to the specified range.
NOTE
A complete sample project is available at https://github.com/DevExpress-Examples/winforms-richedit-document-api-e5219
document.LoadDocument("Grimm.docx", DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.DocumentFormat.OpenXml)
Dim cstyle As CharacterStyle = document.CharacterStyles("MyCStyle")
If cstyle Is Nothing Then
cstyle = document.CharacterStyles.CreateNew()
cstyle.Name = "MyCStyle"
cstyle.Parent = document.CharacterStyles("Default Paragraph Font")
cstyle.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.DarkOrange
cstyle.Strikeout = StrikeoutType.Double
cstyle.FontName = "Verdana"
document.CharacterStyles.Add(cstyle)
End If
Dim myRange As DocumentRange = document.Paragraphs(0).Range
Dim charProps As CharacterProperties = document.BeginUpdateCharacters(myRange)
charProps.Style = cstyle
document.EndUpdateCharacters(charProps)
