Unable to align bullets to the left margin

[Arthur Butler]

I need to left align an unordered (bullets) list with the left margin of the page / web view in the RichTextBox control.  See the attached image of what I want to accomplish.  This image is from Word.  How can I accomplish this same functionality using SfRichTextBoxAdv?

Regards,

Arthur

Hi Arthur, 

We have fixed the issue with List gets removed while changing the paragraph properties through Paragraph dialog. The patch can be downloaded from the following location.    

  

Note: Now you can left align an unordered (bullets) list with the left margin of the page by decreasing the paragraph’s LeftIndent.  

Recommended approach - exe will perform automatic configuration 

Please find the patch setup from below location: 

http://syncfusion.com/Installs/support/patch/17.1.0.38/906021/F144891/SyncfusionPatch_17.1.0.38_906021_6202019081001682_F144891.exe 

Advanced approach – use only if you have specific needs and can directly replace existing assemblies for your build environment 

Please find the patch assemblies alone from below location:    

http://syncfusion.com/Installs/support/patch/17.1.0.38/906021/F144891/SyncfusionPatch_17.1.0.38_906021_6202019081001682_F144891.zip 

 

Assembly Version: 17.1.0.38 

 

Installation Directions :  

This patch should replace the files “Syncfusion.SfRichTextBoxAdv.WPF” under the following folder. 

 

$system drive:\Program Files (x86)\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\WPF\$Version # \precompiledassemblies\4.5.1 

 

Eg : $system drive:\Program Files (x86)\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\WPF\ 17.1.0.38\precompiledassemblies\4.5.1 

 

To automatically run the Assembly Manager, please check the Run assembly manager checkbox option while installing the patch. If this option is unchecked, the patch will replace the assemblies in precompiled assemblies’ folder only. Then, you will have to manually copy and paste them to the preferred location or you will have to run the Syncfusion Assembly Manager application (available from the Syncfusion Dashboard, installed as a shortcut in the Application menu) to re-install assemblies.

This fix did not make it into v17.3.0.34.  I can reproduce this in that version.

Hi Arthur, 

 

Thank you for the update, 

 

We have checked in v17.3.0.34, but we couldn’t reproduce the reported issue List gets removed while changing the paragraph properties through Paragraph dialog.  

Please refer the below attached video for replication procedure, if your replication steps are different from this, please share your replication steps to reproduce the issue.  

https://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/forum/144891/ze/SCREEN~1-175704945 

 

Note: Make sure your application is referring assembly with version 17.3.0.34. Because there is a chance for old assemblies referring from GAC.

While I can modify the paragraph indentation as you show in you video, I am reporting that when I outdent the bulleted list, the bullets move off the screen when I expect them to be aligned with the left margin.

The issue in your video appears to be the same issue that I am facing.  I use the toolbar to outdent the list and when it hits the page margin , it seems that the bullets are off the screen.

Arthur

Hi Arthur, 

We have analyzed further about the bullets disappeared when setting left indent as zero through paragraph dialog. When we try the same steps in Microsoft Word application, it moves the bullet left side (outside the left margin) and the bullet is not visible. The SfRichTextBoxAdv control does the same behavior. 

To perform outdent operation and stop moving the content outside of the left margin, use the DecreaseIndentCommand of SfRichTextBoxAdv control instead of setting left indent property to zero. This command works like decrease indent option in Home ribbon tab of Microsoft Word application and stops processing when it reached left margin. For more information about using commands, please refer the UG documentation. 

Please let us know if have any other questions.

I am revisiting this issue.  I do the following in Word:

1. Set the View to Web Layout
2. Add a numbered list
3. Select the numbered list and then click the Decrease Indent toolbar button

The result is what I want - the numbered list is aligned with the left margin - see attached.

How can I achieve that same result with SfRichTextBoxAdv control?

Regards,

Arthur

Hi Arthur,

Thanks for the update.

The selection cannot be made on the number and other formats of the numerical list. Instead, the paragraph of the respective list can be selected and can increase and decrease the indent. We have also created a sample to demonstrate the same which can be downloaded from the below location.
