CustomRequestBehavior Class
Allows users to interact with an AI-powered assistant directly within your application.
Namespace: DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms
Assembly: DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms.v24.2.dll
NuGet Package: DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms
#Declaration
#Remarks
CustomRequestBehavior
displays the “Ask AI Assistant” item in the context menu. The “Ask AI Assistant” item invokes a dialog that allows users to interact with an AI-powered assistant directly within your application. A user can enter a question or prompt. The AI assistant will process the query and generate an answer.
The user can easily insert the answer directly into a document or text field with a single click. The user can insert the answer above/below the cursor, replace all content or selected text, or copy the answer to the clipboard.
The following code snippet registers a CustomRequestBehavior
and assigns it to a RichEdit control:
using DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms;
public Form1() {
InitializeComponent();
InitializeRichEditControl();
behaviorManager1.Attach<CustomRequestBehavior>(richEditControl, behavior => {
//behavior.Properties.Temperature = 0.6f;
});
}
Note
Call the Behavior
method at application startup if your project targets the .NET Framework and you create AI-powered behaviors in code. Otherwise, an exception is thrown.
internal static class Program {
[STAThread]
static void Main() {
//...
// The Initialize() method forcibly initializes the behavior manager in .NET Framework apps.
DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms.BehaviorInitializer.Initialize();
Application.Run(new Form1());
}
}
