Silverlight Resizable Table

This free Table control is similar to the standard Grid control, except with this all rows and columns can be resized easily and borders can easily be applied to cells.

This Silverlight only Table Control is easy to implement on your Silverlight driven website and is also customizable to provide a visual feel suitable for any site design.

To use the Table control you will need to add a reference to Liquid.RichText.dll in your project.


How to Use the Table Control

To use the Table on your Silverlight page:

In the XAML above we have a Table control containing some controls, each control column has a heading.  Notice by hovering the mouse over a grid line the cursor changes allowing you to resize the rows and columns.

Example Silverlight Table Control:

Here are latest posts from around the forums, if you have a question about any of the Liquid controls you can get your answers in the Forum.

Actually, I think I've spotted it now.  It seems to be that 'Portable User Interface' is anything selected that hasn't been created as a particular font.  If I can somehow put the RichTextBox into a default font, it might fix this.

Hi,


You can use the following to ensure content is read-only:


richTextBox.SelectMode = SelectMode.ReadOnly;


Thanks!

Hi,


The spell checker uses standard .dic files, you can find some here:

Hi Paul,


As you have found only a small amount of CSS is supported in the RichTextBox, there is a short list of what CSS is supported at:

Thanks!

Hi Radi,


Its not possible to programatically close the popup in this version, we will add a new method named HideSuggestionsPopup() to the next version that will enable you to close it.


Thanks!

Hi Veljko,


I think the best way is to load your RichText into a RichTextBlock and assign the RichTextBlock to the PageVisual property.


Thanks!
