Toolbar Modes

RadEditor introduces a property named ToolbarMode, which specifies the behaviour of the toolbar. Here are the different options for setting the ToolbarMode:

  • Default - the toolbar is static and positioned over the content area
  • PageTop - in this mode, when a particular editor gets the focus its toolbar will appear docked at the top of the page
  • ShowOnFocus - here the toolbar will appear right above the editor when it gets focus.
  • Floating - the toolbar will pop up in a window and will allow the user to move it over the page.
