Remarks
The RichEditControl is a word processing viewer. It processes text with any text direction. The RichEditControl ships with an integrated ribbon that allows end users to perform basic operations.
The Document and the SubDocument interfaces are the entry points for a RichEdit document. Use the IRichEditControl.Document property to access the Document instance.
Refer to the RichEditControl Document section for more information about the available elements and how to manage them.
You can provide a document source for the RichEditControl using the RichEditControl.DocumentSource property, or load a document in code behind using the RichEditControl.LoadDocument() method overloads.
Check the WPF Rich Text Editor Examples section for code examples used to solve different word processing tasks.
The RichEditControl provides control-specific options. Use the RichEditControl.BehaviorOptions property to retrieve settings used to control editor operations (save, print,clipboard operations, etc.)
The RichEditControl.DocumentCapabilitiesOptions property provides access to options used to control the use of document elements.
The Visual Elements section describes the RichEditControl’s interface and built-in dialogs.
