Editor / Custom ToolStrips

   
 
 
 
 
   

  • Custom ToolStrip

    ToolStrips are useful dropdowns that contain a group of tools with related functionality and can be a very convenient means of arranging tools used in the editor. To create a custom ToolStrip follow the instructions below:

    1. Register the toolstrip by adding the following inner-tags to the RadEditor declaration:

      <telerik:radeditor runat="server" ID="RadEditor1">   
                <Tools>
                    <telerik:EditorToolGroup>                
                        <telerik:EditorToolStrip Name="AlignmentOptions" PopupHeight="150px">
                            <telerik:EditorTool Name="JustifyLeft" />
                      <      telerik:EditorTool Name="JustifyCenter" />
                      <      telerik:EditorTool Name="JustifyRight" />
                  </      telerik:EditorToolStrip>
                    </telerik:EditorToolGroup>
                </Tools>
      </telerik:radeditor>
    2. You can also add a toolstrip via the ToolsFile.xml file:
        
      <EditorToolStrip Name="Paste Options" PopupHeight="250px">
              <EditorTool Name="Cut" />
        <      EditorTool Name="Copy" />
        <      EditorTool Name="Paste" />
        <      EditorTool Name="PasteFromWord" />
        <      EditorTool Name="Paste" />
        <      EditorTool Name="PasteFromWordNoFontsNoSizes" />
        <      EditorTool Name="PastePlainText" />
        <      EditorTool Name="PasteAsHtml" />
      </      EditorToolStrip>
    3. Another way to define a toolstrip is dynamically via the codebehind:

      EditorToolGroup toolbar = new EditorToolGroup();
      RadEditor1.Tools.Add(toolbar);

      EditorToolStrip toolstrip = new EditorToolStrip("ImageManager");
      toolstrip.Tools.Add(new EditorTool("ImageManager"));
      toolstrip.Tools.Add(new EditorTool("ImageManager"));
      toolstrip.Tools.Add(new EditorTool("FlashManager"));
      toolstrip.Tools.Add(new EditorTool("MediaManager"));
      toolstrip.Tools.Add(new EditorTool("DocumentManager"));
      toolstrip.Tools.Add(new EditorTool("TemplateManager"));
      toolstrip.Tools.Add(new EditorTool("LinkManager"));

      toolbar.Tools.Add(toolstrip);

    4. To set a default toolstrip icon, provide an image file and declare the following CSS class in the page with the editor:

      <style type="text/css">
      .reTool .ToolName
      {
          background-image      : url(IconUrl);
      }
      .reTool .AlignmentOptions
      {
          background-image      : url("JustifyLeft.gif");
      }
      </      style>
