Text Control Not Editable

When adding a StructuredDocumentTag of SdtType.PlainText or the content control in word is not editable. It makes me overwrite the content in the control, not edit or append to it.

I have uploaded a sample project to:

Thanks

I should add… once in word and the text is overwritten for the first time, the text is editable.

@robschenkel,

You can fix this issue by specifying false to StructuredDocumentTag.IsShowingPlaceholderText property as follows:

...
...
    }
case 4:
    {
        var structuredDocumentTag = new StructuredDocumentTag(document, SdtType.PlainText, MarkupLevel.Inline);
        structuredDocumentTag.RemoveAllChildren();
        structuredDocumentTag.IsShowingPlaceholderText = false;
        structuredDocumentTag.AppendChild(new Run(document, "This is the text for 4"));

        builder.InsertNode(structuredDocumentTag);
        break;
    }
case 5:
    {
...
...

Hope, this helps.

Best regards,

@awais.hafeez thanks so much.

Unrelated question… I saw somewhere that there was a sample that printed out the structure of a document. Would you know where this is? i.e. it allowed you to click on each run and see the content, etc.
