Namespace : DevExpress.Blazor.Office

Assembly : DevExpress.Blazor.v25.2.dll

NuGet Package : DevExpress.Blazor

Declaration

csharp
public class BarItemCollection :
    BarItemCollectionBase<IBarItem>

The following members return BarItemCollection objects:

Remarks

The Rich Text Editor can display its command bar in two ways:

  • Ribbon UI. The ribbon consists of multiple tabs. A tab includes groups, and a group can contain various items.

  • Toolbar UI. The toolbar consists of groups, and each group contains one or more items.

Use the BarItemCollection class methods to add default or custom items to the bar.

Add Default Items

The Add method overloads allow you to add a predefined item to a ribbon or toolbar group. Use the RichEditBarItemNames class properties to obtain names of all built-in items.

The following code snippet customizes the ribbon as follows:

razor
<DxRichEdit CustomizeRibbon=OnCustomizeRibbon />

@code {
    void OnCustomizeRibbon(IRibbon ribbon) {
        IRibbonTab insertTab = ribbon.Tabs[RichEditRibbonTabNames.Insert];
        IBarGroup group = insertTab.Groups[RichEditRibbonGroupNames.InsertHeaderAndFooter];
        // Inserts the Insert Time Field item at the end of the item collection
        group.Items.Add(RichEditBarItemNames.InsertTimeField);
        // Inserts the Insert Date Field item at the first position in the item collection
        group.Items.Add(0, RichEditBarItemNames.InsertDateField);
    }
}

Add Custom Items

Call one of the following method overloads to add a custom item to the item collection:

The following code snippet creates a custom group on the File ribbon tab and adds the following items to this group:

  • A button that allows users to export a document to a specific format.
  • A combo box that allows users to select a target document format.
razor
<DxRichEdit @ref=@rich DocumentFormat=@documentFormat @bind-Modified=@modified 
    CustomizeRibbon=OnCustomizeRibbon/>

@code {
    DxRichEdit rich;
    DocumentFormat documentFormat = DocumentFormat.OpenXml;
    bool modified = false;

    void OnCustomizeRibbon(IRibbon ribbon) {
        ribbon.Tabs[RichEditRibbonTabNames.File].Groups.Clear();
        IBarGroup fileGroup = ribbon.Tabs[RichEditRibbonTabNames.File].Groups.AddCustomGroup(0);
        // Inserts a custom combo box at the end of the item collection
        IBarComboBox documentFormatComboBox = fileGroup.Items.AddCustomComboBox(
            () => documentFormat,
            (value) => Task.FromResult(documentFormat = (DocumentFormat)value)
        );
        documentFormatComboBox.Items.Add("DOCX", DocumentFormat.OpenXml);
        documentFormatComboBox.Items.Add("RTF", DocumentFormat.Rtf);
        // Inserts a custom button at the first position in the item collection
        IBarButton exportButton = fileGroup.Items.AddCustomButton(0, "Export", DownloadDocumentAsync);  
    }

    async Task DownloadDocumentAsync() {
        if (documentFormat == DocumentFormat.OpenXml)
            await rich.ExportDocumentAsync("C:\\Users\\Public\\annual-report.docx", documentFormat);
        else
            await rich.ExportDocumentAsync("C:\\Users\\Public\\annual-report.rtf", documentFormat);
    }
}
