When creating a rich text editor, you can provide it with a set of toolbars or ribbon tabs to let your end users perform basic operations (format and edit text, create lists, add headers and footers, work with tables, perform advanced mail merge, etc.) via command UI. Refer to the Getting Started section for examples on how to provide ribbon or bar UI for the DXRichEdit.

This topic contains a list of available toolbars, ribbon tabs, related commands, and a set of documents to which you can refer to get detailed information on the corresponding RichEditControl’s functionality.

Note

Commands executed via the Bar (Ribbon) user interface can throw unhandled exceptions if a problem occurs. Consider the situation when a document is being saved to a locked or read-only file. To prevent application failure, subscribe to the RichEditControl.UnhandledException event and set the RichEditUnhandledExceptionEventArgs.Handled property to true.
