Symbol Dialog
The Symbol dialog enables end-users to visually select a symbol or character insert it into the text.
End-users can invoke this dialog using the Symbol button on the Insert ribbon tab. Refer to the How to: Create the RichEditControl with a Ribbon UI topic on how to provide the ribbon ui for the RichEditControl. Executing the ShowSymbolFormCommand invokes this dialog as well.
RichEditControl also provides a number of commands to insert different individual symbols:
- InsertRegisteredTrademarkSymbolCommand
- InsertEmDashCommand
- InsertEnDashCommand
- InsertEllipsisCommand
- InsertTrademarkSymbolCommand
- InsertCopyrightSymbolCommand
Handle the RichEditControl.SymbolFormShowing event to customize the default Symbol dialog or substitute it with completely new one. To get an example of the dialog replacement, refer to the How to: Customize the Search Form or How to: Customize the Hyperlink Form document.
