Context menu does not appear in my editor

[Ludovic]

Hi

I've got some problem with context menu.

I defined my radeditor in a ContentPage.skin file like this : 

 

<rad:radeditor runat="server" SkinId="Editor"  Width="100%"  StripFormattingOptions="MSWordRemoveAll,Font,Css,Span" NewLineBr="true">
 <ImageManager ViewPaths="~/FilesDB/Emailing" UploadPaths="~/FilesDB/Emailing" DeletePaths="~/FilesDB/Emailing" EnableImageEditor="true" EnableThumbnailLinking="false" />
     <FontNames>
       <rad:EditorFont Value="Trebuchet MS" />
   </FontNames>
          <Tools>
     <rad:EditorToolGroup Tag="MainToolbar">
         <rad:EditorTool  name="AjaxSpellCheck"/>
         <rad:EditorTool  name="FindAndReplace" shortcut="CTRL+F"/>
         <rad:EditorTool  name="Copy" shortcut="CTRL+C"/>
         <rad:EditorTool  name="Paste" shortcut="CTRL+V"/>
         <rad:EditorTool  name="PasteFromWord" />
         <rad:EditorTool  name="PasteFromWordNoFontsNoSizes" />
         <rad:EditorTool  name="PastePlainText" />
         <rad:EditorTool  name="PasteAsHtml"  />
         <rad:EditorSeparator/>
         <rad:EditorTool  name="Undo" shortcut="CTRL+Z"/>
         <rad:EditorTool  name="Redo" shortcut="CTRL+Y"/>
         <rad:EditorTool  name="ImageManager" shortcut="CTRL+G"/>
         <rad:EditorTool  name="ImageMapDialog"/>
         <rad:EditorTool  name="LinkManager" shortcut="CTRL+K"/>
         <rad:EditorTool  name="Unlink" shortcut="CTRL+SHIFT+K"/>
    </rad:EditorToolGroup>
    <rad:EditorToolGroup>
         <rad:EditorTool  name="Bold" shortcut="CTRL+B"/>
         <rad:EditorTool  name="Italic" shortcut="CTRL+I"/>
         <rad:EditorTool  name="Underline" shortcut="CTRL+U"/>
         <rad:EditorTool  name="StrikeThrough" />
          <rad:EditorSeparator/>
         <rad:EditorTool  name="JustifyLeft" />
         <rad:EditorTool  name="JustifyCenter" />
         <rad:EditorTool  name="JustifyRight" />
         <rad:EditorTool  name="JustifyFull" />
         <rad:EditorTool  name="JustifyNone" />
        <rad:EditorSeparator/>
         <rad:EditorTool  name="Indent" />
         <rad:EditorTool  name="Outdent" />
         <rad:EditorSeparator/>
         <rad:EditorTool  name="InsertOrderedList" />
         <rad:EditorTool  name="InsertUnorderedList" />
         <rad:EditorTool  name="ConvertToLower" />
         <rad:EditorTool  name="ConvertToUpper" />
         <rad:EditorSeparator/>
         <rad:EditorTool  name="InsertTable" />
         <rad:EditorTool  name="InsertSymbol" />
    </rad:EditorToolGroup>
    <rad:EditorToolGroup Tag="DropdownToolbar">
         <rad:EditorTool  name="FormatBlock"/>
         <rad:EditorTool  name="FontName"/>
         <rad:EditorTool  name="RealFontSize"/>
         <rad:EditorSeparator/>
         <rad:EditorTool  name="ForeColor"/>
         <rad:EditorTool  name="BackColor"/>
    </rad:EditorToolGroup>
    </Tools>
     <Modules>
        <rad:EditorModule Name="RadEditorStatistics" Enabled="true" />
    </Modules>
    <Languages>
        <rad:SpellCheckerLanguage Code="en-US" Title="Anglais"/>
        <rad:SpellCheckerLanguage Code="fr-FR" Title="Français"/>
    </Languages>
     <CssFiles>
        <rad:EditorCssFile Value="~/RadEditor.css" />
    </CssFiles>
   </rad:radeditor>

If i put a radeditor with this skin in a form, the context menu doesn't appear anymore and if I add
a <contextmenu> tag 
<ContextMenus>
<telerik:EditorContextMenu Enabled="true" />
</ContextMenus>
in my skin file, the context menu appears but is always empty

If I remove the <tools> part, the context menu reappears.
I don't understand why.

Do I miss something ?

My telerik radeditor version is v4.0.30319

Thank you for your help

Hi Ludovic,

This is expected behavior of RadEditor. By design, the default context menus are registered in the default RadEditor's toolsfile. When inline <tools> tag is set the default toolsfile is not loaded. When setting RadEditor's tools declarative you need to add all the items as well. To enable the default context menus need to add them manually to the skin file. The following are the default context menus:

<ContextMenus>
    <rad:EditorContextMenu TagName="*">
        <rad:EditorTool Name="Cut" />
        <rad:EditorTool Name="Copy" />
        <rad:EditorTool Name="Paste" />
        <rad:EditorTool Name="PasteFromWord" />
        <rad:EditorTool Name="PastePlainText" />
        <rad:EditorTool Name="PasteAsHtml" />
        <rad:EditorTool Name="PasteHtml" />
    </rad:EditorContextMenu>
    <rad:EditorContextMenu TagName="TABLE">
        <rad:EditorTool Name="ToggleTableBorder" />
        <rad:EditorTool Name="SetTableProperties" />
        <rad:EditorTool Name="DeleteTable" />
    </rad:EditorContextMenu>
    <rad:EditorContextMenu TagName="TD">
        <rad:EditorTool Name="InsertRowAbove" />
        <rad:EditorTool Name="InsertRowBelow" />
        <rad:EditorTool Name="DeleteRow" />
        <rad:EditorTool Name="InsertColumnLeft" />
        <rad:EditorTool Name="InsertColumnRight" />
        <rad:EditorTool Name="DeleteColumn" />
        <rad:EditorTool Name="MergeColumns" />
        <rad:EditorTool Name="MergeRows" />
        <rad:EditorTool Name="SplitCell" />
        <rad:EditorTool Name="SplitCellHorizontal" />
        <rad:EditorTool Name="DeleteCell" />
        <rad:EditorTool Name="SetCellProperties" />
        <rad:EditorTool Name="SetTableProperties" />
    </rad:EditorContextMenu>
    <rad:EditorContextMenu TagName="IMG">
        <rad:EditorTool Name="SetImageProperties" />
        <rad:EditorTool Name="ImageMapDialog" />
    </rad:EditorContextMenu>
    <rad:EditorContextMenu TagName="A">
        <rad:EditorTool Name="SetLinkProperties" />
        <rad:EditorTool Name="Unlink" />
    </rad:EditorContextMenu>
</ContextMenus>
