RadRichTextBox Context Menu customize - Remove Hyperlink Font Paragraph Menu items

[Ramesh]

Hello, we are using the RadRIchTextBoxes, in our WPF application in different Modules.

We are using it like a plain text box, but using the SpellCheck Feature to check the spelling of upper case. (   this.custNotesRichTextBox.SpellChecker.Settings.SpellCheckUppercaseWords = true;)

We use the context menu to get the spelling suggestions. But we do not want the user to use, Hyperlink, FONT, how do we disable this.

We wanted to see if we can disable in the main WPF application (where we add reference to the Telerik.Windows.Documents.Proofing.Dictionaries.En-US) than in each module. Because we feel customizing for each textbox would consume memory.

Please refer screenshot below.

Hi Ramesh,

You can use the following approach for this: 

public MainWindow()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    var contextMenu = (Telerik.Windows.Controls.RichTextBoxUI.ContextMenu)this.radRichTextBox.ContextMenu;
    contextMenu.Showing += RichTextBox_ContextMenuShowing;
}
private void RichTextBox_ContextMenuShowing(object sender, Telerik.Windows.Controls.RichTextBoxUI.Menus.ContextMenuEventArgs e)
{
    for (int i = e.ContextMenuGroupCollection.Count  ; i > 1; i--)
    {
        e.ContextMenuGroupCollection.RemoveAt(1);
    }
     
}

I hope this helps. Should you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.

Hello Dimitar, How do I make the context Menu changes globally, meaning I have RichTextBox used in different modules in my WPF project. I don't want to write the above code in every place. I want the same context Menu behaviour across my all RichTextboxes. can we put it in App.xaml.cs. Please explain how we can get the instance there.

Hi Ramesh,

What you can do is add the RadRichTextBox to user control, implement the additional functionality and then use the new user control in all places where this is required. 

Let me know if I can assist you further.
