In this help article, you will learn how you can configure RadEditor with nested context menus.
The capability to nest the context menus in RadEditor is available as of R2 2016 and it is supported only for [Lightweight rendering]({%slug editor/mobile-support/render-modes%}).
With the new feature, the Tools
collection of the EditorContextMenu
class supports a new item — EditorContextMenuTool
. You can use its Tools
collection to add additional tools (EditorTool
items) that will be in the nested menu.
The EditorContextMenuTool
class can be edited by using the:
Name
property to edit the text of the tool that opens the nested menu.IconCssClass
property to add a class name to the icon element in order to style it with CSS later.
You can also configure multilevel nesting, as shown in Example 3.
