Overriding or adding new commands for RadImageEditorUI

[Enric]

hi there,

I would need more power with this control. I mean, being able to show more buttons would be great. I wonder, is it possible?
My aim is display a button where the user can save the images and their later treatment against my RDBMS (Sql2k8)

Also I would fancy show a Context Menu on the bare surface of the control.

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

You can modify the way RadImageEditorUI looks in several ways. For example, you can add custom tools you've implemented in ImageToolsSections. There is a demo project in our click-once example which shows how this can be achieved (you an also find it here for SIlverlight, but the code-base is the same). 

I'm not sure what exactly you are trying to achieve, but in case you want to modify the behavior of the default save command you can do that by inheriting from ImageEditorCommandBase. The attached project demonstrates how a custom save command can be implemented and used. 

In case you wish to create custom tools you can implement the ITool interface for the actual tool and the IImageCommand interface for the custom tool. A sample project demonstrating the approach can be found here.

As for creating a context menu, I suggest you refer to the documentation of RadContextMenu. It is fairly simple to create the menu and bind it to the default commands of RadImageEditor. Here is a simple example:

<telerik:RadImageEditorUI x:Name="ImageEditorUI" >
      <telerik:RadContextMenu.ContextMenu>
          <telerik:RadContextMenu>
              <telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Save" Command="commands:ImageEditorRoutedCommands.Save" />
              <telerik:RadMenuItem Header="ResizeTool" Command="commands:ImageEditorRoutedCommands.ExecuteTool" >
                  <telerik:RadMenuItem.CommandParameter>
                      <tools:ResizeTool />
                  </telerik:RadMenuItem.CommandParameter>
              </telerik:RadMenuItem>
          </telerik:RadContextMenu>
      </telerik:RadContextMenu.ContextMenu>
  </telerik:RadImageEditorUI>

The approach when binding to a custom command should be similar.

I hope the provided information is helpful! Let us know if you have any other comments or questions.

Hi Petyas,

First of all thanks for your response and your attachment, now, it's working properly.

Well, I was thinking in one wonderful thing: including the main features for Hot Spot graphical treatment in your control.

I suppose it is not possible.

It would be amazing to have available in just one control all these things.

P.D: I wanted to attach you one sample in .zip format but I can't. am I only allowed to upload JPG, PNG files?

Anyway, just check this url, it is a SilverLight stuff but it would be a good approx: http://www.damonpayne.com/HotSpot/HotSpotDesigner.html

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback! We will consider the request, however I cannot say if and when such changes might be implemented.
