Add a hyphenation dictionary and enable hyphenation in Rich Text Editor for WPF.

WPF Rich Text Editor - How to Link Hyphenation Dictionaries

The following code sample shows how to enable the word hyphenation in the Rich Text Editor. To accomplish the task, you must first add a hyphenation dictionary to the RichEditControl.HyphenationDictionaries collection.

Once you link hyphenation dictionaries, you can enable or suppress automatic hyphenation in code or in the UI.

Note

Please note that DevExpress does not offer hyphenation dictionaries. In this example, we utilize an American hyphenation dictionary from this site: LibreOffice.org - English Dictionaries. You can download the dictionary source (including the license agreement) from this link. If you wish to use this dictionary in your application, please ensure the relevant license agreement permits it.
