Dynamic DataBinding

[Will Vandergrift]

First of all, great work on the RadRichTextBox! I'm planning on using the RichTextBox in an application that will share a single RichTextBoxRibbon with several RichTextBoxes. I was wondering what would be the best way to dynamically bind the RichTextBoxRibbon to a specific RichTextBox.

Thanks,

Will

Hello Will Vandergrift,
This is possible - you can read more details in this blogpost - it's about Silverlight version, but can be used for WPF too. Basically, you can just set DataContext property of RadRichTextBoxRibbonUI to different instances of RichTextBoxCommands:

this.radRichTextBoxRibbonUI.DataContext = this.radRichTextBox1.Commands;

and later:

this.radRichTextBoxRibbonUI.DataContext = this.radRichTextBox2.Commands;

This can be done on any event you like, including when the RadRichTextBox is focused, or another UI experience relevant one.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have other questions. Any feedback on WPF version is welcome too.

Thanks. That worked great! I was trying to make it more difficult then it has to be.
