# Working with C1RichTextBoxToolbar

## Content



The [C1RichTextBoxToolbar](/componentone/api/wpf/online-richtextbox/dotnet-framework-api/C1.WPF.RichTextBox.Toolbar.4.6.2/C1.WPF.RichTextBox.C1RichTextBoxToolbar.html) control is a full-featured, ribbon-like toolbar that easily turns WPF RichTextBox into a complete text editor. The **C1RichTextBoxToolbar** control is based on the **C1Toolbar** control allowing complete customization.


> type=note
> **Note**: The **C1RichTextBoxToolbar** is only available for .NET Framework. In .NET, RichTextBox provides the [C1RichTextBoxRibbon](/componentone/docs/wpf/online-richtextbox/richtextbox-ribbon) and [C1RichTextBoxToolStrip](/componentone/docs/wpf/online-richtextbox/richtextbox-toolstrip) controls.

To connect a **C1RichTextBoxToolbar** control to a **C1RichTextBox** control you would need to set the [C1RichTextBoxToolbar.RichTextBox](/componentone/api/wpf/online-richtextbox/dotnet-framework-api/C1.WPF.RichTextBox.Toolbar.4.6.2/C1.WPF.RichTextBox.C1RichTextBoxToolbar.RichTextBox.html) property to the name of the control you want to link with the toolbar. For an example, see Connecting a **C1RichTextBoxToolbar** to a **C1RichTextBox** topic.

When you add the **C1RichTextBoxToolbar** to your application, it appears similar to the following:

The buttons within the toolbar appear very similar to options in Microsoft Word and other editors, so they should appear familiar to end-users. There are three tabs: **Home**, **Tables** and **View**.

**Home Tab**

The **Home** tab includes five defined groups of elements: [Edit](/componentone/docs/wpf/online-richtextbox/working_richtextboxtoolbar/Edit_Group), [Font](/componentone/docs/wpf/online-richtextbox/working_richtextboxtoolbar/Font_Group), [Paragraph](/componentone/docs/wpf/online-richtextbox/working_richtextboxtoolbar/Paragraph_Group), [Insert](/componentone/docs/wpf/online-richtextbox/working_richtextboxtoolbar/Insert_Group), and [Tools](/componentone/docs/wpf/online-richtextbox/working_richtextboxtoolbar/Tools_Group). You can read about these groups by navigating through the corresponding hyperlinks.

**Tables Tab**

The **Tables** tab includes four defined groups of elements: **Table**, **Rows & Columns**, **Merge**, and **Cell**. You can perform different actions with table cells, rows and columns using this tab. For example, setting width, merging cells, inserting or deleting rows and columns.

The **View** Tab which includes three defined group of elements; **Views**, **Zoom**, and **Line Number.**
