Editor / Toolbar Mode

The RadEditor's ToolbarMode property specifies the behaviour of the toolbar. When ToolbarMode is set to PageTop, ShowOnFocus or Floating, then the toolbar loads its scripts when it is displayed for the first time, but not when the page is loaded. This lazy initialization of the invisible toolbars increases the loading speed of the control and it is suitable in scenarios with multiple editors.
Choose Toolbar Mode:
Editor 1: Editor 2:
   
  
 
 
   
   
  
 
 
   

Editor 3:
   
  
 
 
   

  • Toolbar Modes

    RadEditor introduces a property named ToolbarMode, which specifies the behaviour of the toolbar. Here are the different options for setting the ToolbarMode:

    • Default - the toolbar is static and positioned over the content area
    • PageTop - in this mode, when a particular editor gets the focus its toolbar will appear docked at the top of the page
    • ShowOnFocus - here the toolbar will appear right above the editor when it gets focus.
    • Floating - the toolbar will pop up in a window and will allow the user to move it over the page.
