Clear items from RichTextEditorRibbonBar start menu.

[Oproma]

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.
