Rich Text Editor for WPF - Replace Standard Command with Custom Command

This example illustrates the technique used to modify the functionality of existing DXRichEdit commands.

Implementation Details

The RichEditControl exposes the IRichEditCommandFactoryService interface that enables you to substitute the default command with a custom command.

1. Create a command class, inherited from the command that you've decided to replace. Override its methods. The main functionality and command specifics is located in the Execute or the ExecuteCore method (the latter does not check for the command availability).

2. Create a class that implements the IRichEditCommandFactoryService. Override the CreateCommand method to create an instance of a custom command class if an identifier of a certain command is passed as a parameter.

3. Use this class to substitute the default RichEditControl's service.
