RichEditBoxLite

NuGet

RichEditBoxLite is an experimental WinUI-shaped rich-text editor for Uno Platform's Skia renderer. It targets Desktop, WebAssembly, Android, and iOS and does not target WinAppSDK or Uno native rendering.

Install the current package:

dotnet add package CConner100.RichEditBoxLite --version 0.1.0

xmlns:rte="using:CConner100.RichEditBoxLite"

<rte:RichEditBoxLite
    Header="Notes"
    TextChanged="Editor_TextChanged" />

The public CLR and package namespace is CConner100.RichEditBoxLite.

What is implemented

  • A Skia SKCanvasElement renderer with formatted runs, selection, caret, wrapping, spellcheck marks, and range geometry.
  • A transparent Uno TextBox input bridge for platform keyboard, dead-key, IME, selection, clipboard, and virtual-keyboard integration.
  • UTF-16 public positions with document/range/selection operations, find, case changes, undo/redo, grouped edits, character formatting, paragraph formatting, and inline-object projection (U+FFFC).
  • Bounded RTF import and canonical export for text, Unicode, font size, bold/italic/underline/strike, colors, highlight, subscript, superscript, paragraphs, and tabs.
  • Built-in lightweight English (en-US) and Spanish (es-ES) proofing with suggestions, ignored words, and custom words.
  • A Fluent-styled control template with WinUI-compatible part/state intent, dependency properties, custom event arguments, and a value automation peer.
  • A seven-section Test UI with stable automation IDs plus document, malformed input, RTF round-trip, API-inventory, and spellcheck tests.

Compatibility status

This is a usable foundation, not a claim of complete WinUI RichEdit parity. The public surface is deliberately WinUI-shaped, but a few types must come from CConner100.RichEditBoxLite because Uno's WinUI event-argument and text-object constructors are internal.

Area v0.1 status
Plain text, caret, selection, keyboard input Implemented through Uno input bridge
Character formats Implemented for core format run properties
Paragraph alignment/indent/list metadata Stored; alignment/list painting remains partial
RTF core profile Implemented and bounded; normalized import
Undo/redo and grouped edits Implemented
Find, movement, case conversion Implemented; movement is character-based except unit expansion
Spellcheck en-US/es-ES Implemented with bundled compact dictionaries
Hyperlinks Link metadata surface exists; activation UI is not implemented
Images Inline placeholder projection exists; binary PNG/JPEG persistence/painting is not implemented
Imported tables Normalized editable text; structural table API is intentionally absent
HTML clipboard import Not implemented
Touch selection handles Delegated to the Uno TextBox bridge; host support varies
IME/dead keys/virtual keyboard Delegated to Uno; requires target-device validation
Accessibility Value automation pattern implemented; full text patterns depend on Uno runtime support
RTL Properties retained; renderer is left-to-right
MathML, handwriting, OLE, advanced Word destinations Unsupported
Candidate-window placement Property retained; host placement may ignore it
Pagination-only paragraph behavior Metadata only; continuous layout

See docs/compatibility.md for the detailed native-Skia feasibility assessment and PublicAPI.Shipped.txt for the approved compatibility inventory.

Build and run

Requires .NET 10 and Uno Platform workloads.

dotnet build RichEditBoxLite.TestApp/RichEditBoxLite.TestApp.csproj -f net10.0-desktop
dotnet run --project RichEditBoxLite.TestApp/RichEditBoxLite.TestApp.csproj -f net10.0-desktop
dotnet test RichEditBoxLite.TestApp.Tests/RichEditBoxLite.TestApp.Tests.csproj
dotnet pack src/CConner100.RichEditBoxLite/CConner100.RichEditBoxLite.csproj -c Release

Target frameworks:

  • net10.0-desktop
  • net10.0-browserwasm
  • net10.0-android
  • net10.0-ios

The Test UI navigation covers Playground, Formatting and Document API, RTF and Rich Content, Input/Clipboard/Spellcheck, Properties and Visual States, Event Monitor, and Accessibility/Stress.

Security profile

RTF input is capped at 16 MiB and 256 nested groups. Remote images are never loaded. Unsupported binary/object/math destinations are discarded during normalized import. Malformed unbalanced input is rejected.
