    ITextFormatter Interface
    In This Topic
    Provides an interface for formatting text in the RichTextBox.
    Syntax
    'Declaration
 
Public Interface ITextFormatter
     
    'Usage
 
Dim instance As ITextFormatter
    Remarks

    The RichTextBox control uses text formatters to allow a user to format the content of the RichTextBox control into any format of their choice. Three text formatters are included: PlainTextFormatter, RtfFormatter, and XamlFormatter. The RtfFormatter is the default text formatter. A user can create their own custom text formatter by creating a class that inherits from ITextFormatter and implementing its members accordlingly.

    Example
    The following shows an example of implementing the ITextFormatter interface.
    public class MyFormatter : ITextFormatter
{
        public string GetText(System.Windows.Documents.FlowDocument document)
        {
            return new TextRange(document.ContentStart, document.ContentEnd).Text;
        }

        public void SetText(System.Windows.Documents.FlowDocument document, string text)
        {
            new TextRange(document.ContentStart, document.ContentEnd).Text = text;
        }
 }
    The following shows how to use a custom ITextFormatter-derived class.
    <xctk:RichTextBox x:Name="_richTextBox" Grid.Row="1" Margin="10" BorderBrush="Gray" Padding="10"
                                     Text="{Binding Notes}" 
                                     ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto">
            <xctk:RichTextBox.TextFormatter>
                <myCustomFormatter:MyFormatter />
            </xctk:RichTextBox.TextFormatter>
</xctk:RichTextBox>
