How to bind text to the RichTextbox from view model.

[Sahithi-Snovasys]

I would like to bind the string(Combination of emoji and some string) as a text from view model to richtext box. Is there any way to bind it.

Also, how to get entered text from richtextbox

Hi.

No. But...

The RichTextBox uses a "FlowDocument" instead of a "pure" Text. (Strings)

There is a way to Bind to a "extended" RichTextBox-Control in the "Extended WPF Toolkit".

They already solved the "bindability" to a String-Property.

If this is not for You, you can extend a RichTexBox with a DependencyProperty.

I hope it helps...

@sahithi89 in the latest release you can bind Text on the RichTextBox. See the new version of the sample application:

            <emoji:RichTextBox FontSize="20" x:Name="EmojiRichTextBox"/>

            <emoji:TextBlock FontSize="12" Text="{Binding Text, ElementName=EmojiRichTextBox, Mode=TwoWay}"/>
