Localize Buttons, ToolTips, etc

RadEditor is fully localized from resource files placed in the App_GlobalResources folder. You can localize all standard and custom editor buttons from the localization resource files. For each new custom tool added in the ToolsFile.xml or programmatically through the code-behind, add a new entry to theRadEditor.Tools.resx file having the same ID as the tool name:

The tools can be defined through the ToolsFile.xml, added declaratively or programmatically at run-time. The critical detail is that the tool name must match the Name column in the resource file.

XML

<root>  
	<tools name="MainToolbar" enabled="true" >    
		<tool name="Custom1" shortcut="CTRL+1" />  
	</tools>
</root>

ASP.NET

<telerik:RadEditor RenderMode="Lightweight" ID="RadEditor1" runat="server">
	<Tools>
		<telerik:EditorToolGroup>
			<telerik:EditorTool Name="Custom1" ShortCut="CTRL+1" />
		</telerik:EditorToolGroup>
	</Tools>
</telerik:RadEditor>

C#

RadEditor1.Tools.Clear();
EditorToolGroup main = new EditorToolGroup();
RadEditor1.Tools.Add(main);
EditorTool custom1 = new EditorTool();
custom1.Name = "Custom1";
custom1.ShortCut = "CTRL+1";
main.Tools.Add(custom1);

VB

RadEditor1.Tools.Clear()
Dim main As New EditorToolGroup()
RadEditor1.Tools.Add(main)
Dim custom1 As New EditorTool()
custom1.Name = "Custom1"
custom1.ShortCut = "CTRL+1"
main.Tools.Add(custom1)

When you run the application, the new button will display with the string from the resource file Value column for that tool:

Defining the "Text" of the tool will override the text from the resource file.
