Combine built in tools with cutome created ones

[Omar]

Hi,

Using the editor, is it possible to combine the built-in tools and the custom ones?

I would like to use the Tools="EditorToolSets.All" as well as the @ToolCollection that I created at the same time.

Regards,

Omar

Hello Dimo,

I struggled to locate instructions on incorporating a custom tool button onto the default toolbar. It's possible that I overlooked something in the documentation.

My objective is to include a custom button on the "EditorToolSets.All" toolbar, allowing users to easily insert a video link.

Fortunately, I've now managed to resolve this issue:

 

<TelerikEditor @ref="Editor" 
               Tools="@ToolCollection"
               Height="300px" @bind-Value="@Description">
</TelerikEditor>

 

protected override async void OnInitialized()
{
    ToolCollection = new List<IEditorTool>(EditorToolSets.All);
    // create a tool group
    var UndoRedoGroup = new EditorButtonGroup(
            new EditorNS.Undo(), // add individual tools to the group
            new EditorNS.Redo()
        );
    ToolCollection.Add(UndoRedoGroup);
    EditorButtonGroup Video = new EditorButtonGroup();
    ButtonTool bt = new ButtonTool();
    bt.Title = "Insert video";
    bt.OnClick = EventCallback.Factory.Create<MouseEventArgs>(this, ExecuteInsertVideo); 
    bt.Icon = SvgIcon.VideoExternal;
    Video.Tools.Add(bt);
    ToolCollection.Add(Video);
}

Could you guide me to the section in the documentation that explains how to add a custom button to the predefined editor toolbar?

Omar

See Telerik Blazor Editor Custom Tools.

You need the CustomTool("tool-name") constructor. ButtonTool is a base class that is not meant to be used directly for custom tools.

The above code that I wrote worked very well.

Hi Omar,

Yes, it is possible to add Editor tools to a predefined collection, or also reoder tools in a predefined collection.

Is our documentation hard to navigate or to find the required information? Let me know if you find any difficulties while using it.
