    Hi there,

    I was wondering if it was possible to modify the start menu of the RichTextEditorRibbonBar. Ideally I would like to clear all the items and add my own. However, from my experiments, this is not possible.

     

    Is there a way to achieve this without manually creating a RibbonBar and re-create all the text formating operations?

     

    Thank you

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Telerik support.

    RichTextEditorRibbonBar uses BackstageView for item start button. More information on this functionality is available here: http://www.telerik.com/help/winforms/ribbonbar-backstage-view-working-with-backstage-view.html.

    Here is also an example how to clear the existing items and add a tab item with a control in it and a button item with some functionality:
    richTextEditorRibbonBar1.BackstageControl.Items.Clear();
     
    BackstageTabItem tab1 = new BackstageTabItem("tab text");
    tab1.Page.Controls.Add(new RadLabel() { Text = "some control" });
    richTextEditorRibbonBar1.BackstageControl.Items.Add(tab1);
     
    BackstageButtonItem btn1 = new BackstageButtonItem("btn text");
    btn1.Click += (s,ev) => { RadMessageBox.Show("hello"); };
    richTextEditorRibbonBar1.BackstageControl.Items.Add(btn1);

    Note that changes to the RichTextEditorRibbonBar is recommended to be done with code, not at design time.

    I hope that you find this information useful. Should you have any other questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
