Displaying Toolbar on Focus in ASP NET Core Rich Text Editor

To improve the user experience by showing the toolbar of a Rich Text Editor only when the editor is focused, you can use a combination of HTML and CSS. This technique helps maintain a clean interface by keeping the toolbar hidden until the user is actively editing text. Here’s an updated version of the steps:

Implementation Steps

1. Set Up the Rich Text Editor: First, ensure that you have the Rich Text Editor component properly set up in your HTML. The example below uses a placeholder to guide the user:

   <ejs-richtexteditor id="editor" placeholder="Enter your message here."></ejs-richtexteditor>
   

2. CSS for Toolbar Visibility: Use CSS to hide the toolbar by default and reveal it when the editor gains focus. Apply the following CSS rules:

   .e-richtexteditor .e-toolbar-wrapper {
       display: none; /* Hide the toolbar by default */
   }
   
   .e-richtexteditor.e-focused .e-toolbar-wrapper {
       display: block; /* Show the toolbar when the editor is focused */
   }
   

Conclusion

By implementing the above steps, you can effectively configure the Rich Text Editor to show the toolbar only when the editor is focused. This approach helps streamline the user interface, making it more intuitive and less cluttered.
