A table has two dialogs that can modify the way the table looks, Table properties and Table borders. Both can be open from context menu, but only table properties can be open from ribbon bar as well. Is this a bug or a feature?

Hello Mihajlo,

By design, the border dialog can be shown only from the context menu. We will consider adding such feature if we receive more request for it. 

For now, you can manually add a button. It would be easier to inherit the RichTextEditorRibbonBar class because this gives direct access to all elements of the ribbon: 
class MyRibbonUI : RichTextEditorRibbonBar
{
    public MyRibbonUI()
    {
        var button = new RadButtonElement();
        button.Text = "Border";
        button.Image = this.buttonProperties.Image;
        button.TextImageRelation = TextImageRelation.ImageAboveText;
        button.ImageAlignment = ContentAlignment.TopCenter;
        button.TextAlignment = ContentAlignment.TopCenter;
        button.Padding = new System.Windows.Forms.Padding(0, 3, 0, 0);
        button.Click += Button_Click;
        this.groupTable.Items.Add( button);
    }
 
    private void Button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        this.AssociatedRichTextEditor.ShowTableBordersDialog();
    }
}

I hope this helps. Should you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.
 
Regards,
Dimitar
