  • RadEditor provides 4 different ways to configurate the toolbars:

    1. Setting the tools in the RadEditor's declaration:
      <telerik:radeditor runat="server" ID="RadEditor1" Height="100px">
      <Tools>
      <telerik:EditorToolGroup >
      <telerik:EditorTool Name="Cut" />
      <
      telerik:EditorTool Name="Copy" />
      <
      telerik:EditorTool Name="Paste" />
      </
      telerik:EditorToolGroup>
      </Tools>
      </telerik:radeditor>
    2. Setting the tools via the ToolsFile property - the same way as in the previous versions of the control:
      <telerik:radeditor
      ToolsFile
      ="~/Editor/Examples/EditorToolbars/Tools.xml"
      runat
      ="server" ID="RadEditor2" Height="100px">
      </telerik:radeditor>
    3. Setting the tools programmatically in the codebehind:
      EditorToolGroup main = new EditorToolGroup();
      RadEditor3.Tools.Add(main);

      EditorTool body = new EditorTool();
      body.Name = "Bold";
      body.ShortCut = "CTRL+B";
      main.Tools.Add(body);

      EditorTool italic = new EditorTool();
      italic.Name = "Italic";
      italic.ShortCut = "CTRL+I";
      main.Tools.Add(italic);

      EditorTool underline = new EditorTool();
      underline.Name = "Underline";
      underline.ShortCut = "CTRL+U";
      main.Tools.Add(underline);
    4. Setting the tools by using Theme:
      In your .skin file:
      <%@ Register TagPrefix="telerik" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" %>
      <telerik:radeditor runat="server" SkinId="SomeTools">
      <Tools>
      <telerik:EditorToolGroup >
      <telerik:EditorTool Name="Bold" />
      <
      telerik:EditorTool Name="Italic" />
      </
      telerik:EditorToolGroup>
      </Tools>
      </telerik:radeditor>
      Once the skin is set, you need to declare it in the RadEditor's declaration by using the SkinId property:
      <telerik:radeditor
      SkinID
      ="SomeTools"
      Height
      ="100px"
      runat
      ="server" ID="RadEditor4">
      </telerik:radeditor>

      Note: More information on how to use ASP.NET 2.x Themes is available in MSDN
