The example below demonstrates how to add a custom MyBold button to the editor's toolbar and when pressed to fire the editor's bold command:

```ASP.NET
<telerik:RadEditor RenderMode="Lightweight" ID="RadEditor1" runat="server">
	<Tools>
		<telerik:EditorToolGroup>
			<telerik:EditorTool Name="MyBold" ShowText="true" ShowIcon="false" />
		</telerik:EditorToolGroup>
	</Tools>
</telerik:RadEditor>
<script type="text/javascript">
	Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.CommandList["MyBold"] = function (commandName, editor, args)
	{
		editor.fire("Bold");
	};
</script>
```

> note The custom command should be placed BELOW the editor declaration.
