It would with some minor fixes…
But first take a look at my RichTextEditor (www.codeplex.com/richtextedit) which is capable of all the things as well, Silverlight Beta 2 compatible and nearly the same if you use it in readonly mode…

But if you really need this component, I will review the code.

don’t worry… next week we will provide a well featured RichTextEdit. Of course the job could be done better with native operation system utilities, as available to Microsoft, but as we don’t know when it ships…

And as I pointed out within my article… There is no need for a rich text editor because microsoft will provide its own in the next releases… I think it will also be able to output and input XAML and HTML.

My component focuses on something other… If you are chatting for example, you have no time to select formatting from a toolbar. This is why you need a simple formatting language that allows you to make your message looking more personalized. The same for messaging and all other user input. In many cases it’s just not possible to provide a format toolbar for any user input. And you will definitely need them for a real rich text editor!!

As I am developing a webservice focused on chatting, messaging and personalized user profiles, this component is really important to me…

I think there are many scenarios to use this code…

As I said you may use it for any user input like chatting, messaging, forums, guestbooks and also for user profiles… Maybe also for text formatting within your website.

If you miss any formatting you may easily add it by extending the macro definitions and adding proper handling code to the “TextBuilder” class…

I need this component very frequently within my webservice so I thought it would be useful for others too…

Hi tinz,

Where should we use this code? Can you tell me some scenarios where we should use this code?

I think it might be useful if you are creating in Silverlight-enabled chatting software… Silverlight 2 supports Socket so that it’s good to create some chatting clients with Silverlight. I think Chris will add more inputs for that.

Is it the early version of Rich Text Editor? OR Do you have any plan to create the Rich Text Editor for Silverlight?

This is what I’m thinking a lot these days. but I think we should probably wait Silverlight 2 beta 2… Chris told me that Rich Text Editor will be included in next release.

Hi Mike and Chris,

Where should we use this code? Can you tell me some scenarios where we should use this code?

I have checked your demo. It seems intesting (because I thought it’s Rich Text Editor for Silverlight) but it doesn’t have all functionalites of Rich Text Editor. Is it the early version of Rich Text Editor? OR Do you have any plan to create the Rich Text Editor for Silverlight?
