[Solved] Ability to show the editor toolbar on focus

[Nicholas]

I have an editor on a razor page:

@(Html.Kendo().EditorFor(model => model.Message.MessageText)
            .Name("Message.MessageText")
            .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "height:550px" })
            .Tools(tools => tools
                .Clear()
                .Bold()
                .Italic()
                .Underline()
                .Strikethrough()
                .FontColor()
                .BackColor()
                .InsertOrderedList()
                .InsertUnorderedList()
                .Indent()
                .Outdent()
                .CreateLink()
                .Unlink()
                )
            )

I have updated to the latest version of Kendo. In the release notes, it states as a new feature, "Ability to show the editor toolbar on focus". How can I do this?

Thanks,
Nick

Hi Nick,

You need to use the Editor's inline editing mode, i.e. create it from a <div> element with some content inside.

http://demos.kendoui.com/web/editor/inline-editing.html

This mode is supported only by the client-side Editor widget. Please keep in mind that in this mode there is no element that is submitted automatically to the web server. See the note below the demo.
