    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.

    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!
