Declaration

C#

void UnlinkAllFields()

VB.NET

Sub UnlinkAllFields

Remarks

The Unlink method converts fields’ results to text or graphics. Unlinked fields can not be updated automatically.

Use the Field.Unlink method to unlink a field. The FieldCollection.Unlink method allows you to unlink all fields in specific parts of a document (main body, text box, header, footer, comment, footnote, and endnote).

The code sample below unlinks all fields in the document.

C#

using DevExpress.XtraRichEdit;
using DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.API.Native;
//...

using (RichEditDocumentServer wordProcessor = new RichEditDocumentServer())
{
    // Access a document.
    Document document = wordProcessor.Document;
    //...
    // Unlink all fields in the document.
    document.UnlinkAllFields();
}

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.XtraRichEdit
Imports DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.API.Native
'...

Using wordProcessor As New RichEditDocumentServer()
    ' Access a document.
    Dim document As Document = wordProcessor.Document
    '...
    ' Unlink all fields in the document.
    document.UnlinkAllFields()
End Using
