getToolByName() semms to return only nulls

[Nils]

Hi,
in some pages I need to hide Tool-Buttons from a RadEditor.
So I attached an OnClientLoad function and in there wanted to remove the Tools.
But editor.getToolByName seems to always return null.
I am using a ToolBarMode of "Floating" could it be, that getToolByName only works when the Toolbar is visible?

Best,
Nils

Hi Nils,

Here is an example how to get reference to a tool in RadWindow based toolbar:

<telerik:RadEditor runat="server" ID="RadEditor1" ToolbarMode="ShowOnFocus" OnClientLoad="OnClientLoad"></telerik:RadEditor>
<script type="text/javascript">
    function OnClientLoad(editor) {
        var wnd = editor.get_toolAdapter().get_window();
        wnd.add_show(function () {
            setTimeout(function () {
                var tool = editor.getToolByName("RealFontSize");
                tool.set_value("13px");
            }, 100);
        });
    }
</script>

If you work in SharePoint environment, see this article: Using RadEditor's Client-Side events in SharePoint 2010.

Thanks Rumen,
I have now the following up-and-running. (TypeScript-Code)

    export class RadEditor  {
        public static ClientLoaded(editor, args) {
            console.info("RadEditor loaded: " + editor.get_id());
            var wnd = (<Telerik.Web.UI.RadEditor>editor).get_toolAdapter().get_window();
            wnd.add_show(() => {
                if (ShouldHideButtons()) {
                    setTimeout(() => {
                        $.each(
                        [
                            "EditReusableContent",
                            "MedInsertCT",
                            "SPTemplateManager"
                        ], (i, name) => {
                            var tool = <Telerik.Web.UI.EditorButton>editor.getToolByName(name);
                            if (!tool)
                                return;
                            //tool.set_enabled(false);
                            //tool.setState(-1);
                            tool.set_visible(false);
                            console.info(name + " hidden in " + editor.get_id());
                        })
                    }, 100);
                }
            });
         }
//... rest...
}

or in JavaScript:

        var RadEditor = (function () {
            function RadEditor() { }
            RadEditor.ClientLoaded = function ClientLoaded(editor, args) {
                console.info("RadEditor loaded: " + editor.get_id());
                var wnd = (editor).get_toolAdapter().get_window();
                wnd.add_show(function () {
                    if(ShouldHideButtons()) {
                        setTimeout(function () {
                            $.each([
                                "EditReusableContent",
                                "MedInsertCT",
                                "SPTemplateManager"
                            ], function (i, name) {
                                var tool = editor.getToolByName(name);
                                if(!tool) {
                                    return;
                                }
                                //tool.set_enabled(false);
                                //tool.setState(-1);
                                tool.set_visible(false);
                                console.info(name + " hidden in " + editor.get_id());
                            });
                        }, 100);
                    }
                });
            }
           // ... rest...
}

Where RadEditor.ClientLoaded is set as the OnClientLoad-Function.
Thanks again.

Best, Nils
