  • WatermarkManager Interface

    Manages document watermarks.

    Namespace: DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.API.Native

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

    NuGet Package: DevExpress.RichEdit.Core

    Declaration

    public interface WatermarkManager

    The following members return WatermarkManager objects:

    Remarks

    WatermarkManager allows you to add and remove watermarks without access to the watermark itself. You can use text or an image as a watermark.

    Watermarks are located in section headers. If a document does not contain headers, WatermarkManager adds headers of the Primary type to all document sections.

    If the document has multiple sections, WatermarkManager adds the same watermark to each section and each existing section header (first, primary, odd, or even).

    The WatermarkManager.Type property indicates whether the document has watermarks. The property returns WatermarkType.None if the document does not contain watermarks.

    Example

    The code sample below adds a text watermark to all document pages.

    image

    using (RichEditDocumentServer wordProcessor = new RichEditDocumentServer())
    {
        wordProcessor.LoadDocument("DocumentProtection.docx");
    
        TextWatermarkOptions textWatermarkOptions = new TextWatermarkOptions();
        textWatermarkOptions.Color = System.Drawing.Color.LightGray;
        textWatermarkOptions.FontFamily = "Calibri";
        textWatermarkOptions.Layout = WatermarkLayout.Diagonal;
        textWatermarkOptions.Semitransparent = true;
    
        wordProcessor.Document.WatermarkManager.SetText("CONFIDENTIAL", textWatermarkOptions);
        wordProcessor.SaveDocument("DocumentProtection_new.docx", DocumentFormat.Docx);
    }
