I've got an old site we've upgraded to the most recent version of the Telerik controls but when we went to check out the RadEditor none of the buttons do anything. No dialogs no formatting nothing. So I created a blank page and gave it RadEditor then tested it. this works fine the dialogs work and so does the formatting. I pointed to this test page's RadEditor to the same custom tools file we used and now nothing works again. I was under the impression you could create custom tools files and so long as the names of the tools matched those that were present in the RadEditor by default they would just work. Essentially using the custom tools file as a way to reorder the tools how you saw fit, etc.

Am I missing something obvious that is preventing any of the buttons from working when this custom tools file is used??

Hello Nick,

The title and dockable attributes are not supported by the new RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX and they should be stripped, e.g.

<?xml version="1.0" ?>

<root>

<modules />

<tools name="MainToolbar">

<tool name="Cut" shortcut="CTRL+X" />

<tool name="Copy" shortcut="CTRL+C" />

<tool name="Paste" shortcut="CTRL+V" />

<tool separator="true" />

<tool name="Undo" shortcut="CTRL+Z" />

<tool name="Redo" shortcut="CTRL+Y" />

<tool separator="true" />

<tool name="ImageManager" />

<tool name="LinkManager" />

<tool name="Unlink" />

<tool name="InsertHorizontalRule" />

<tool separator="true" />

<tool name="Bold" shortcut="CTRL+B" />

<tool name="Italic" />

<tool name="Underline" shortcut="CTRL+U" />

<tool separator="true" />

<tool name="JustifyLeft" />

<tool name="JustifyCenter" />

<tool name="JustifyRight" />

<tool separator="true" />

<tool name="InsertOrderedList" />

<tool name="InsertUnorderedList" />

<tool name="Indent" />

<tool name="Outdent" />

<tool separator="true" />

<tool name="InsertTable" />

<tool separator="true" />

<tool name="Help" />

</tools>

<tools name="SecondaryToolbar" >

<tool name="Print" />

<tool name="FormatStripper" />

<tool name="FindAndReplace" />

<tool name="SpellCheck" />

<tool name="FormatBlock" />

<tool separator="true" />

<tool name="ApplyClass" />

<tool separator="true" />

<tool name="FontName" />

<tool name="InsertSnippet" />

<tool name="FlashManager" />

<tool name="MediaManager" />

<tool name="DocumentManager" />

<tool name="InsertCustomLink" />

</tools>
