Hi,

It request a FlowDocument(not FixedDocument) for the Print and PrintPreview in our application, can I get a FlowDocument from the PrintSettings?

If not support that, I also can do it with the RTF, but I need insert the line number before every line, so how can I export one line to RTF(not all of the document), I don't know how to get a ITextSnapshot for a line.


Thanks you very much!

Currently I use the following code:

string rtf = editor.Document.CurrentSnapshot.Export(new TextExporterFactory().CreateRtf());
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(Encoding.Default.GetBytes(rtf));

FlowDocument flowDocument = new FlowDocument() { FontSize = editor.FontSize, FontFamily = editor.FontFamily };
TextRange textRange = new TextRange(flowDocument.ContentStart, flowDocument.ContentEnd);
textRange.Load(ms, DataFormats.Rtf);

int index = 0;

Paragraph p = flowDocument.Blocks.FirstBlock as Paragraph;

while (p != null)
{
    p.Inlines.InsertBefore(p.Inlines.FirstInline,
        new Run(string.Format("{0,-5} ", ++index))
        {
            Foreground = editor.LineNumberMarginForeground,
            FontFamily = editor.LineNumberMarginFontFamily,
            FontSize = editor.FontSize - 1,
            BaselineAlignment = BaselineAlignment.Center
        });
    p = p.NextBlock as Paragraph;
}
It looks not bad, is there any better way ?

Hi Peter,

We have never tried to create a FlowDocument from a FixedDocument. This article we found may or may not help you if you try that:

All ITextExporters have an Export method that takes a snapshot and set of TextRanges to export. You could pass the TextRange of the snapshot line you want to that.

Hi,

Is the "editor.Document.CurrentSnapshot.Lines.Count" always one more than the document content?

Peter,

That is always how many lines there are in the snapshot. There is a minimum of one line in a document, even in an empty document.
