>Note: Since Q2 2013 the RadEditor control can be set to Right-to-Left mode by using the dir DOM attribute or the direction CSS property set to ltr value, targeting the HTML, BODY or the wrapper element.

The RadEditor supports right-to-left (RTL) language locales. In order to configure the RadEditor in RTL mode you should go through the following steps:

1. RTL support for RadEditor:

- register the Editor_RTL.css file in the <head></head> section of your webpage, i.e:

- <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./RTL/Editor_RTL.css" />

2. RTL for RadEditor dialogs:

- Use the DialogsCssFile property to include the RadEditor_Dialogs_RTL.css file in the dialogs of RadEditor:

- <telerik:RadEditor DialogsCssFile="./RTL/RadEditor_Dialogs_RTL.css"></telerik:RadEditor>

3. RTL for the content area of RadEditor:

- Use the ContentAreaCssFile property of RadEditor to include the EditorContentArea_RTL.css file:

- <telerik:RadEditor runat="server" ID="RadEditor1" SkinID="DefaultSetOfTools" Height="350px" DialogsCssFile="./RTL/RadEditor_Dialogs_RTL.css" ContentAreaCssFile="./RTL/EditorContentArea_RTL.css"></telerik:RadEditor>


You are able to download the needed CSS files using the following links:

  • DefaultVB.aspx
  • DefaultVB.aspx.vb
  • styles.css
  • Languages.xml
