IRichEditCommandFactoryService Interface

Defines a service that is used to create RichEdit commands.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.Services

Assembly: DevExpress.RichEdit.v24.2.Core.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.RichEdit.Core

Declaration

C#

[ComVisible(true)]
public interface IRichEditCommandFactoryService

VB.NET

<ComVisible(True)>
Public Interface IRichEditCommandFactoryService

Remarks

The code below implements the IRichEditCommandFactoryService descendant, which generates customized SaveDocumentCommand and SaveDocumentAsCommand commands. The command descendants override the ExecuteCore methods to display a message after a document has been saved. The IsModified internal property indicates unsaved changes in the document. If this property is not changed to false after a document is saved, it signals that the save action failed.
