Custom Editor ToolBar

[Hiren]

I need a default toolbar that is provided by the edior. Along with all the optiuon i need to add one dropdown, the values will be comming from the database. Is there a way that i dont have to write the code for adding default toolbar & write the code only for adding a dropdown. I checked the example provided in

http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/editor/examples/customdropdowns/defaultcs.aspx

This will not add default toolbar, Please suggest what shopuld be the approach.

Hi Hiren,

If you create and add dynamically the custom dropdown from the codebehind, you can load the default toolbar by firing the

protected void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    RadEditor1.EnsureToolsFileLoaded();
    EditorToolGroup dynamicToolbar = new EditorToolGroup();
    RadEditor1.Tools.Add(dynamicToolbar);

    //add a custom dropdown and set its items and dimension attributes
    EditorDropDown ddn = new EditorDropDown("DynamicDropdown");
    ddn.Text = "Dynamic dropdown";

    //Set the popup width and height
    ddn.Attributes["width"] = "110px";
    ddn.Attributes["popupwidth"] = "240px";
    ddn.Attributes["popupheight"] = "100px";

    //Add items
    ddn.Items.Add("Daily signature", "TTYL,<br/>Tom");
    ddn.Items.Add("Informal Signature", "Greetings,<br/>Tom");
    ddn.Items.Add("Official Signature", "Yours truly,<br/>Tom Jones");

    //Add tool to toolbar
    dynamicToolbar.Tools.Add(ddn);
}

Another option is to download the default ToolsFile.xml file from the following KB article: Default ToolsFile.xml file of RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX and register the custom dropdown declaration in it:

<tool name="Emoticons" Name="Emoticons"  type="dropdown" PopupWidth="170px" PopupHeight="117px">
  <item  name="<img src='icons/1.gif' />"  value="icons/1.gif"  />
  <item  name="<img src='icons/2.gif' />"  value="icons/2.gif"  />
  <item  name="<img src='icons/3.gif' />"  value="icons/3.gif"  />
  ...
</tool>
