RichEditControl minimum margins

created 10 years ago

Please see the attached image.  On the left are TX Text Controls with margins set to 0.  On the right are DevExpress RichEditControls.  I can seem to get the margins set to 0.  I've tried

C#
richEditControl.Document.Sections[0].Margins.Left = 0;  
richEditControl.Document.Sections[0].Margins.Right = 0;  
richEditControl.Document.Sections[0].Margins.Top = 0;  
richEditControl.Document.Sections[0].Margins.Bottom = 0;

But that doesn't seem to do it.  How do I set the margins to 0?

Looks like the solution is
                richEditControl.Views.SimpleView.Padding = new System.Windows.Forms.Padding(0);

      Hi Timothy,

      Thank you for informing us that you have resolved the issue by using the SimpleView.Padding property. Please do not hesitate to contact us in case of any difficulty. We will be happy to help you!

      Note that there are additional settings that affect the "spacing" depending on RichEditControl.ActiveViewType:
      PrintLayout - Section.Margins
      Simple - SimpleView.Padding
      Draft - DraftView.Padding

      You can find more detailed information in this regard here: How to adjust left padding of a document in RichEditControl.

        I had been using the solution by Timothy for years:

        richEditControl.Views.SimpleView.Padding = new System.Windows.Forms.Padding(0);

        Today, after updating to version 20.x, I receive "Value of type 'Padding' cannot be converted to 'PortablePadding'".

        What must be done to correct this?

          I found out. Instead use:

          New DevExpress.Portable.PortablePadding(0)
