Remove Controls from Rich Text Editor Ribbon Bar Backstage View

[Mohammed]

Hi,

How do I remove/hide buttons specifically 

• Html Document 
• Rich Text Format
• Plain Text
• XAML Document

from the backstage view of the Rich Text Editor Ribbon Bar.

With a regular backstage view I could do something along the lines of

this.radRibbonBarBackstageView1.Controls.Remove(this.radButton1);

but here I can't access the backstage view.

Thank you in advance

Hello Mohammed,

Thank you for writing.

In order to hide the described buttons you can use the following code snippet:

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    CustomRichTextEditorRibbonBar ribbonUI = new CustomRichTextEditorRibbonBar();
    this.Controls.Add(ribbonUI);
}

public class CustomRichTextEditorRibbonBar : RichTextEditorRibbonBar
{
    protected override void Initialize()
    {
        base.Initialize();
        this.buttonSaveHTML.Visible = false;
        this.buttonSavePlain.Visible = false;
        this.buttonSaveRich.Visible = false;
        this.buttonXAML.Visible = false;
    }
}

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions I would be glad to help.

This is not working for me. The code snippit does not throw an error, but the buttons are still visible.

Hi Christian,

The suggested approach is working well on my end. I am attaching my test project and a screenshot showing the result.

Hello Christian,

As I have replied in the support ticket on the same matter, I am attaching the updated project featuring one more approach to hide the save buttons: 

public partial class RadForm1 : Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadForm
{
    public RadForm1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

    }

    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        BackstageTabItem saveAsItem = this.richTextEditorRibbonBar1.RibbonBarElement.BackstageControl.Items["backstageTabItemSaveAs"] as BackstageTabItem;
        BackstageViewPage page = saveAsItem.Page;
        page.Controls[0].Controls["buttonSaveHTML"].Visible = false;
        page.Controls[0].Controls["buttonSavePlain"].Visible = false;
        page.Controls[0].Controls["buttonSaveRich"].Visible = false;
        page.Controls[0].Controls["buttonXAML"].Visible = false;
    }
}

About the errors in the attached screenshot, please delete the license file as it conflicts with your actual version: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/licensing/license-file-(licx). Let me know if you have managed to hide the buttons.
