Is it possible to create a UWP application that can view and edit docx documents?
Can syncfusion provide a control that allows users to view and edit docx applications? For example, we can use PDF Viewer to view and edit PDF documents. Is there a similar component for docx?
In addition, I need it to support dark mode
Hi Shompinice,
We have checked the reported query from our end. In Syncfusion UWP, the
SfRichTextEditor control will match your requirement to view and edit the Docx
file. However, the dark theme will not be supported for this control. We have
logged this as a feature request. Please check with the suggested control and
let us know if you have any concerns.

Could you please provide an example that includes opening and displaying a docx document, modifying it and saving it as a docx document?
Shompinice, In the UWP SfRichTextBoxAdv control,
you can open DOCX and other supported format documents at the UI level by using
the shortcut Ctrl + O or in the code-behind using the built-in APIs.
Please use the below API link to know more about loading documents in the code behind
with various parameters. Load(StorageFile
storageFile)
To edit the
opened document, you can use the shortcut keys as you would in MS Word, and you
can use the built-in commands to perform these actions.
Please use the below link to know more about the available commands in the SfRichTextBoxAdv.

To save the
document at the UI level, you can use the shortcut key Ctrl + S or the built-in
APIs in the code-behind.
Please use the below API link to know more about loading documents in the code behind
with various parameters.

We have created a sample application where you can load and save the document in the code-behind and use the built-in commands to perform basic editing operations such as applying bold, italic, and highlight color. Please use the application as a reference to apply commands based on your needs.
