I'm using the following code to create multi-level context menus in a RadEditor control, but I can't get the Text property of the tool to display instead of the Name property.

Hi James,

I verified that the Text property of the context menu item does not function when the RadMenu content menu is used (RadEditor1.UseRadContextMenu = true;) instead of the built-in one.

The solution is to modify the text of the context menu item on the client when RadEditor loads as shown below:

ASPX

        <script>
            function OnClientLoad(editor, args) {
                var contextMenu = editor.get_radContextMenu(); //get a reference to the context menu
                contextMenu.findItemByText("Data").set_text("Data X"); //find the item by text and set its new text
                contextMenu.findItemByText("L0_Menu").set_text("Level 1 Menu Item");
            }
        </script>
        <telerik:RadEditor ID="RadEditor1" runat="server" OnClientLoad="OnClientLoad">
            <ContextMenus>
                <telerik:EditorContextMenu TagName="P">
                    <telerik:EditorTool Name="JustifyLeft"></telerik:EditorTool>
                    <telerik:EditorTool Name="JustifyCenter"></telerik:EditorTool>
                    <telerik:EditorTool Name="JustifyRight"></telerik:EditorTool>
                    <telerik:EditorTool Name="JustifyFull"></telerik:EditorTool>
                </telerik:EditorContextMenu>
                <telerik:EditorContextMenu TagName="BODY">
                    <telerik:EditorTool Name="JustifyLeft"></telerik:EditorTool>
                    <telerik:EditorTool Name="JustifyCenter"></telerik:EditorTool>
                    <telerik:EditorTool Name="JustifyRight"></telerik:EditorTool>
                    <telerik:EditorTool Name="JustifyFull"></telerik:EditorTool>
                </telerik:EditorContextMenu>
            </ContextMenus>
        </telerik:RadEditor>

 

ASPX.CS

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        EditorContextMenuTool dataMenu = new EditorContextMenuTool("Data");
        dataMenu.Text = "Data X";
        System.Text.StringBuilder sb = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
        for (int l1 = 0; l1 < 5; l1++)
        {
            EditorContextMenuTool subDataMenu = new EditorContextMenuTool();
            subDataMenu.Name = string.Concat("L", l1, "_Menu");
            subDataMenu.Text = string.Concat("Level 1 Menu Item ", l1);
            subDataMenu.ShowText = true;
            subDataMenu.ShowIcon = false;
            for (int l2 = 0; l2 < 5; l2++)
            {
                EditorTool tool = new EditorTool();
                tool.Name = string.Concat("L", l1, "_Menu_", l2);
                tool.Text = string.Concat("Level ", l1, "-Menu Item ", l2);
                tool.ShowText = true;
                tool.ShowIcon = false;
                subDataMenu.Tools.Add(tool);
                sb.Append("Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.CommandList[\"" + tool.Name + "\"] = function (commandName, editor, oTool) {debugger;editor.pasteHtml(\"<var>" + tool.Text + "</var>\");}");
                sb.AppendLine();
            }
            dataMenu.Tools.Add(subDataMenu);
        }
        RadEditor1.ContextMenus.FindByTagName("P").Tools.Add(dataMenu);
        RadEditor1.ContextMenus.FindByTagName("BODY").Tools.Add(dataMenu);
        ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Page, Page.GetType(), "contextMenuHandlerScript", sb.ToString(), true);
    }
