Adding custom dropdown in code clears default toolset

[Cesar]

Hiya,

I am trying to add a custom dropdown in codebehind, similar to that in this article,

http://www.telerik.com/support/kb/article/b454K-kdc-b454T-btc-b454c-btc.aspx

but what I would like to do is retain the current (default) tools.  When I add a custom dropdown, as in the article above, all the tools disappear except for the newly added tool.

I am not using a <tools> declaration in the aspx file.  Nor am I using RadEditor1.Tools.Clear(),  so I don't know what I could be doing wrong.

I am just simply doing
   RadEditor1.Tools.Add(myNewGroup)
which I thought would add the toolgroup to the existing tools.

This "clearing" even seems to be the case in the example, according to the screenshot for the AJAX editor, but I note the example uses a <tools> section in the aspx.

Oddly enough however, the screenshot for the classic editor seems to insert the tool, rather than replace the entire toolset, which is what I would like.

I'm sure I must be missing something simple somewhere...

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Cesar,

Please, set the EnsureToolsFileLoaded() method and test again:

        RadEditor1.EnsureToolsFileLoaded();
        EditorToolGroup myNewGroup = new EditorToolGroup();
        RadEditor1.Tools.Add(myNewGroup);

        EditorTool bold = new EditorTool();
        bold.Name = "Bold";
        bold.ShortCut = "CTRL+B";
        myNewGroup.Tools.Add(bold);

Rumen,

Thank you so much.  I know it had to be something simple, and I guess I didn't see that method...

Thanks again, that worked perfectly.
