A completed radrtb configured control

[Karl]

Hi,

I like the demo of the rtb. The features in the demo would be absolutely fine for my purposes. The new rtb control seems to be a tiny part of the demo. I'd like to have the rtb with all formatting capabilities etc. as part of one drag and drop control with all the stripe commands (maybe configurable )etc.. Have I possibly overseen a fast way of configuring the rtb?  Or how could it be made as one single drag and drop tool?

I see that you have a wizard for quicksilver. Am I missing one?

Thank you,
Karl

Hi Karl,

The first version of RadRichTextBox for WinForms does not come with a configurable RadRibbonBar. However, by the end of Wednesday we will release a documentation article which contains an implementation of the RadRibbonBar used in the demo of RadRichTextBox. You will be able to easily associate this ribbonbar to your RadRichTextBox instance by setting a single property.

I hope that you will find the article helpful.

All the best,

Hi Nikolay,
Thanks, I am so much looking forward to this - where will I find it?

Hello Karl,

Thank you for writing back.

Please refer to the following documentation article which concerns RadRibbonBar UI for RadRichTextBox:

Let me know if you have questions.

Hi Nikolay,

In the description I get to point 5. I build the project with the necessary references (a reference to my project), but I cannot find the richRibbonBar. It's neither in the tools (Toolbox) nor if I try to look for it via 'Choose Items...'

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Karl

Hello Karl,

If I understand your description correctly, you have added a reference from your main project to the TelerikEditor project. However, it should be just the opposite: you should add a reference from the TelerikEditor project to your main project.

Please confirm if I have understood your case correctly.

Hello Nikolay,

The reference which I entered was and is in the TelerikEditor. To be clear: In the TelerikEditor/Project References is a reference to my project (in this case called testenv1).

In my project (testenv1) there is no reference to TelerikEditor. There is a reference to Telerik.WinControls.SpellChecker and Telerik.WinControls.RichTextBox.

Does that help?

Thanks,
Karl

Hello Karl,

Yes, this is exactly what I though of. You should have a reference of TelerikEditor in your project testenv1. Otherwise, there is no way your project can know about the RichRibbonBar component.

All the best,

Yes Nikolay, I thought so - but that is how it was described - at first. I think you have changed that description by now. Anyway, I deleted all refeneces in both projects, build the TelerikEditor, made a reference to the dll in bin\debug\TelerikEditor in testenv1 and voila - can't find a RichRibbonBar... Where would I find it? Or have I missed something?

Hello Karl,

Please take a closer look at step 2. You should add a project reference, but not a reference to a dll file. The project reference will allow you to see a RichRibbonBar in your Visual Studio Toolbox. References to dll files do not allow you to see the references components automatically in your Toolbox. For additional information about the different types of references, please refer to this article.

Thank you Nikolay!

Also thank you for the reference to the explanatory article. After reading it I believe I understand what it is about. Thanks again, for holding my hand and resolving this implementation issue. It's well implemented now and I can start to work on modifications!

Best regards to you and your quality team,

Karl
