Remove tool dynamically from RadEditor

[William]

Hi Guys,

Could someone tell me how to remove a tool from the RadEditor dynamically. When someone logs into my page, I want to be able to turn a tool off. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello William,

 Here is an article with sample code on how to achieve what you need:

Please, test the suggested solution and let us know how it goes.

I'm using VB and I tried this and it didn't work. I couldn't get "RemoveButton()" to be recognized by VB. Is there a specific IMPORT that I need to be using to get this to work.

William:

You are correct that the VB.NET code that is provided on the Removing Toolbar Buttons documentation page does not work as provided.

I have modified it and I am providing the working version.

Default.aspx.vb:

Imports Telerik.Web.UI

Partial Class _Default
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        If Not IsPostBack Then
            RadEditor1.EnsureToolsFileLoaded()
            RemoveButton("FindAndReplace")
            RemoveButton("Cut")
            RemoveButton("Copy")
            RemoveButton("Paste")
        End If
    End Sub

    Public Sub RemoveButton(ByVal name As String)
        For Each group As Telerik.Web.UI.EditorToolGroup In RadEditor1.Tools
            Dim tool As EditorTool = group.FindTool(name)
            If Not tool Is Nothing Then
                group.Tools.Remove(tool)
            End If
        Next
    End Sub
End Class

This removes the four buttons from the RadEditor's basic toolbar on the Page_Load event.

Hope this helps!
