Bullet list only

[John]

Is there a way to programmatically set the editor to an unordered list and keep it in that mode, so the user can only enter bullets?

Hi John,

You can implement such a logic by handling the OnClientCommandExecuting event and prevent EnterNewLine to remove a list item. Something like this:

<telerik:RadEditor runat="server" ID="RadEditor1"
    OnClientCommandExecuting="OnClientCommandExecuting">
    <Content>
        <ul>
            <li></li>
        </ul>
    </Content>
</telerik:RadEditor>

<script>
    function OnClientCommandExecuting(sender, args) {
        var editorUtils = Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.Utils;
        var command = args.get_commandName();
        var selElm = sender.getSelectedElement();
        var isEmptyLi = selElm.nodeName === "LI" &&
                        editorUtils.isEmptyDom(selElm.firstChild);

        if (command === "EnterNewLine" && isEmptyLi) {
            args.set_cancel(true);
        }
    }
</script>

If you need to also prevent the backspace key, you should rather do that by using the OnClientLoad event.
