Remarks

The RichEditControl implements IServiceProvider and IServiceContainer interfaces. In addition to providing services, it also provides a mechanism for adding and removing services. To obtain a service, call the RichEditControl.GetService method.

The following code replaces the IRichEditCommandFactoryService service with its customized descendant.

RichEditControlActions.cs

var builtInService = richEditControl1.GetService<IRichEditCommandFactoryService>();
var myCommandFactory = new CustomRichEditCommandFactoryService(richEditControl1,builtInService);
richEditControl1.ReplaceService<IRichEditCommandFactoryService>(myCommandFactory);

RichEditControlActions.vb

Dim builtInService = richEditControl1.GetService(Of IRichEditCommandFactoryService)()
Dim myCommandFactory = New CustomRichEditCommandFactoryService(richEditControl1,builtInService)
richEditControl1.ReplaceService(Of IRichEditCommandFactoryService)(myCommandFactory)
