How to Implement Mail Merge in a RichEditControl

This example illustrates how to implement mail merge in the RichEditControl.

In this example, the ArrayList generated at runtime is used as a data source that supplies mail merge data to the document. The tab control on the form contains a Ribbon UI and two RichEditControl instances (one of them is used to construct a document template, and the other displays the mail merge result). The RichEditMailMergeOptions.ActiveRecord property is used to navigate between records.
