How to refresh the Blazor RichTextEditor inside a grid edit dialog?

When integrating the Blazor Rich Text Editor within a grid dialog edit, it is essential to ensure that the editor’s toolbar is displayed correctly. This article provides a solution to refresh the UI of the SfRichTextEditor when it is used inside a grid dialog edit.

To ensure that the SfRichTextEditor toolbar is visible when editing grid data, you can call the RefreshUI() method of the Rich Text Editor. This should be done in the OnActionComplete event of the grid with a slight delay to allow the editor to render properly within the dialog.

Here is a code snippet that demonstrates how to implement this solution:

<SfGrid DataSource="@GridData" Toolbar="@(new string[] {"Add", "Edit" ,"Delete","Update","Cancel" })">
    <GridEvents OnActionComplete="@ActionCompleteHandler" TValue="OrdersDetails"></GridEvents>
    <GridEditSettings AllowAdding="true" AllowEditing="true" AllowDeleting="true" Mode="@EditMode.Dialog">
        <Template>
            @{
                var Order = (context as OrdersDetails);
                <div>
                    <!-- Other form inputs -->
                    <div class="form-row">
                        <div class="form-group col-md-6">
                            <!-- Other form inputs -->
                        </div>
                        <div class="form-group col-md-6">
                            <label class="e-float-text e-label-top">Order Date</label>
                            <SfRichTextEditor @ref="RteObj"></SfRichTextEditor>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                </div>
            }
        </Template>
    </GridEditSettings>
</SfGrid>

@code{
    SfRichTextEditor RteObj;
    public async Task ActionCompleteHandler(ActionEventArgs<OrdersDetails> args)
    {
        if (args.RequestType == Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids.Action.BeginEdit)
        {
            await Task.Delay(1000); // Adjust the delay as needed
            await this.RteObj.RefreshUI();
        }
    }
}

• The OnActionComplete event is triggered after any CRUD action is completed in the grid.
• When the BeginEdit action is detected, indicating that the user is editing a row, a delay is introduced using Task.Delay(1100). This delay allows the SfRichTextEditor to be rendered properly within the dialog.
• After the delay, the RefreshUI() method is called on the SfRichTextEditor instance to refresh its UI and ensure the toolbar is displayed.

Additional Notes

• The delay introduced with Task.Delay may need to be adjusted based on the specific performance and rendering behavior of your application.
• It is important to ensure that the @ref directive is used to create a reference to the SfRichTextEditor instance, which is then used to call the RefreshUI() method.
