Hello Jumer,
Thank you for your interest in RadRichTextBox!
I tried replicating the issue you are observing in both Visual Studio 2010 and 2012, but to no avail. Could you please verify that you are creating a project targeting Silverlight 5? Typically project configuration wizard will be empty if you are trying to reference Silverlight 5 binaries in a Silverlight 4 project. In case this is not the cause of the issue, please try providing us with some screenshots or a video record of the steps you are executing.
When it comes to the toolbox, are all controls from the RadControls for Silverlight missing or just RadRichTextBox? In general, RadRichTextBox can be found under the Telerik Input tab in Visual Studio's toolbox (refer to attached image).
Further, there are several options for generating the predefined UI of RadRichTextBox. One of them is to copy the code from our
SDK examples. The required assembly references can be found in RadRichTextBox's documentation
here.
Another option is to place a RadRichTextBox control, along with a status bar and document ruler and an empty RadRichTextBoxRibbonUI on the page like this:
Once the ribbon is shown in the designer (you might need to build the solution first), right-click on it and select the
Load Default Items option. This will automatically generate the ribbon based on the referenced version of assemblies and bind it to the editor on the page.
Additionally, I am attaching a sample I created which contains the code of RadRichTextBox's predefined UI. I hope my answer is helpful. Let us know if you are still facing issues.
Regards,
Petya
