Hello, I'm really thankful for this toolkit, I wish I could afford the paid version or at least buy a T-shirt or something... I'm 13 and I'm still at school so I don't have that kind of money, off course.
I would like to suggest a different way of formatting the contents of a RichTextBox. What about something similar to the little tool bar I have above the TextArea where I'm writing right now? You know, the one to the top right, with buttons for bold, italic, numbered list, link, image, and whatnot. Here there's a project by this gentleman called Pavel Evgenjevich Timoshenko:
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/448062/WPF-RichTextBoxToolBar-Control.
It is very useful but has some weird behaviours, like being too wide and usually not able to fit in a window (I put it inside a ScrollViewer. The result was awful, but it worked). Another weird behaviour is that it keeps reseting itself to it's default state: All the controls in the tool bar just go to their default, including the ComboBoxes. Maybe you could get in touch with that Mr. Timoshenko and ask for permission to improve on his project? Or maybe at least you'll get the idea that this is definetly something that's missing from the toolkit: a ToolBar to format a RichTextBox that is not a contextual menu. To be honest, I've never even thought of a contextual tool box that would show up on right click. I think very few people have ever considered that idea. We're used to have the editing controls constantly at our view and reach.
Well, that's it, thanks again, I hope you consider my suggestion as something worthy of adding to this wonderful toolkit.
