Communication between RadRichTextBoxRibbonUI and System.Windows.Control.RichTextBox

[naresh]

Created the visual studio project with
telerik:RadRichTextBoxRibbonUI and System.Windows.Controls.RichtextBox

How can we communicate between above two components.

Hello Naresh,

You need to set the DataContext of the RadRichTextBoxRibbonUI. Here is how it should look:

 <telerik:RadRichTextBoxRibbonUI x:Name="radRichTextBoxRibbonUI" CollapseThresholdSize="50,50" VerticalAlignment="Top"  DataContext="{Binding Commands, ElementName=radRichTextBox}">

Detailed information about this is available here: RadRichTextBoxRibbonUI.

Let me know how this works for you.

Hi Dimitir,

 

We would like to use WPF RichTextBox with RadRichTextBoxRibbonUI and NOT RadRichTextBox. Is this possible?

Setting DataContext to WPF RichTextBox like mentioned by you did not work.

 

P.S. Apologies for multiple posts. We are on strict schedule and wanted some answers quickly.

Hi Naresh,

There is no direct way for this. The RadRichTextBoxRibbonUI has specific bindings that are made for the commands of RadRichTextBox and they will not work with the standard RichTextBox. You can replace the bindings or add event handlers for each menu item and perform the specific action with the RichTextBox.  

Let me know if you have any other questions.
