Hi everyone,
as a key-feature for the RadTextBoxControl a localizable context menu is mentioned. I now have to take advantage of this feature, but cannot find any example or hint, how to do.
Additionally it would be interesting to know, how to customize a context menu and keep the standard functions like 'copy', 'paste', etc.
Any suggestions or examples?
Thanks in advance!

As to the localization question, you need to create a derivative of the TextBoxControlLocalizationProvider and override its GetLocalizedString method to specify the respective string:
I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.

this.radTextBoxControl1.ContextMenuOpening += radTextBoxControl1_ContextMenuOpening;private void radTextBoxControl1_ContextMenuOpening(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.TreeBoxContextMenuOpeningEventArgs e){ RadMenuItem item = new RadMenuItem("My menu item"); item.Click += item_Click; e.ContextMenu.Items.Add(item);}private void item_Click(object sender, EventArgs e){}As to the localization question, you need to create a derivative of the TextBoxControlLocalizationProvider and override its GetLocalizedString method to specify the respective string:
public class CustomTextBoxControlLocalizationProvider : TextBoxControlLocalizationProvider{ public override string GetLocalizedString(string id) { switch (id) { case TextBoxControlStringId.ContextMenuCopy: return "&Copy"; case TextBoxControlStringId.ContextMenuCut: return "Cu&t"; case TextBoxControlStringId.ContextMenuPaste: return "&Paste"; case TextBoxControlStringId.ContextMenuDelete: return "&Delete"; case TextBoxControlStringId.ContextMenuSelectAll: return "&Select All"; } return string.Empty; }}public RadForm1(){ TextBoxControlLocalizationProvider.CurrentProvider = new CustomTextBoxControlLocalizationProvider(); InitializeComponent();}I hope this information helps.

Hey Dess,
thanks for the fast response. That was exactly what I was looking for.
Is this localization thing described in the documentation and I just did not find it?
https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/controls/editors/textboxcontrol/textboxcontrol
Or is there a more detailed documentation available?
Best regards
Maik
