This method should change the text and the tooltip of a desired tool. Currently this functionality does not work and the set value is not applied to the UI of the button. Possible workaround is using the following custom Client-side method, that changes both the button's text and its tooltip: function changeToolsText(editor, toolName, newToolText) { var tool = editor.getToolByName(toolName); var toolElement = tool.get_element(); var textElement = $telerik.getChildByClassName(toolElement, "reButton_text", 0); //Set the tooltip of the Anchor element toolElement.title = newToolText; //Set the text of the button textElement.innerHTML = newToolText; } This method accepts three overload arguments: 1. editor - the editor's Client-side object; 2. toolName - the name of the tool as string; 3. newToolText - the desired text as string; Example: function OnClientLoad(editor, args) { changeToolsText(editor, "CustomTool", "New text value"); }
