RichEditControl.AddService(Type, Object) Method

Adds the specified service to the service container.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraRichEdit

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.v19.1.dll

Declaration

C#

public void AddService(
    Type serviceType,
    object serviceInstance
)

VB.NET

Public Sub AddService(
    serviceType As Type,
    serviceInstance As Object
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
serviceType	Type	The type of service to add.
serviceInstance	Object	An instance of the service type to add. This object must implement or inherit from the type indicated by the serviceType parameter.

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

richEditControl.Text = "A message box is displayed after saving a document using the 'Save' or 'Save As' button click since custom commands.";
var myCommandFactory = new CustomRichEditCommandFactoryService(richEditControl, richEditControl.GetService<IRichEditCommandFactoryService>());
richEditControl.ReplaceService<IRichEditCommandFactoryService>(myCommandFactory);

RichEditControlActions.vb

richEditControl.Text = "A message box is displayed when a document is saved on the 'Save' or 'Save As' button click since custom commands are used"
Dim commandFactory = New CustomRichEditCommandFactoryService(richEditControl, richEditControl.GetService(Of IRichEditCommandFactoryService)())
richEditControl.ReplaceService(Of IRichEditCommandFactoryService)(commandFactory)

Example

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

RichEditControlActions.cs

richEditControl.Text = "A message box is displayed after saving a document using the 'Save' or 'Save As' button click since custom commands.";

richEditControl.ReplaceService<IRichEditCommandFactoryService>(myCommandFactory);

RichEditControlActions.vb

richEditControl.Text = "A message box is displayed when a document is saved on the 'Save' or 'Save As' button click since custom commands are used"
