Changing underline color

[Anatoly Chekh]

Hello!

I have a question:

I want to use underline style for some text. In editor I execute command _textBox.Commands.ToggleUnderlineCommand.Execute(isChecked ? TextDecorations.Underline : null);

How can I change underline color?

Thanks, Anatoly.

Hi Anatoly Chekh,

Custom colors for the underline are currently not supported. The color of the underline depends on the fore color of the text that is being underlined.
On a side note, the ToggleUnderlineCommand does not respect the parameter which can be passed to it, it just changes the state of the selection/current word - if the whole text is underlined, the underline is removed, otherwise - the whole selection/word is underlined.
If this is not the behavior you wish to have, you can use the ChangeUnderlineDecoration method or ChangeUnderlineDecorationCommand. You can also utilize the different Underline types as follows:

this.radRichTextBox1.ChangeUnderlineDecoration(UnderlineTypes.DotDotDashedLine);

Kind regards,

"The color of the underline depends on the fore color of the text that is being underlined."

Yes, by default - it's true.

But when I get Xaml from text box - I always get underline color '#FF000000'. But real fore color is white. And when I set this xaml to the text box - I get black underline.

Hi Anatoly Chekh,

Thanks for your question!
Actually there is a property in Telerik.Windows.Documents.Model.Span class called UnderlineColor. If you set it, its value will override the ForeColor property. Unfortunately currently there isn't an undoable command to change that property. However we will do our best to add it in the upcoming Q2.

Is there any command for changing it in the Q2?

Hello Anatoly Chekh,

Unfortunately, this feature just missed the release deadline for Q2, but we have added it in the development version and it will be released in the next internal build.

All the best,
