Command UI in Rich Text Editor for WinForms

  • 3 minutes to read

You can add a set of toolbars or ribbon tabs to your Rich Text Editor application. Toolbars and ribbons contain commands that allow users to perform basic operations (format and edit text, create lists, add headers and footers, insert tables, mail merge, etc.). For examples on how to add a command UI to the RichEditControl, refer to the following help topic: Getting Started.

Tip

Bar and ribbon items are generated with vector icons. To switch to bitmap icons, set the WindowsFormsSettings.AllowDefaultSvgImages property to DefaultBoolean.False on application startup.

This topic lists available toolbars, commands corresponding to buttons on each toolbar and ribbon group, and other topics related to these features.
