Code Snippet dropdown Customization

Code Snippet Dropdown Customization

The Code Snippet Dropdown of CuteEditor by default displays a predefined set of Code Snippets. You can easily modify this default set using the following methods:

1: Edit Dropdown Configuration file (Common.config):

The dropdown configuration file (Common.config) can be found in the /CuteEditor/Configuration/Shared folder. In dropdown configuration file you can find the Codes element which contains the configuration information for the Code Snippet dropdown within CuteEditor.

You can modify the Codes element to create your own Code Snippet list.

Example:

<Codes>

       <item text="Email signature">

Now the Code Snippet dropdown contains the followings:

2: Programmatically populate the Code Snippet dropdown:

C# Example:

if (!IsPostBack) {
CuteEditor.ToolControl toolctrl=Editor1.ToolControls["Codes"];
if(toolctrl!=null) {
CuteEditor.RichDropDownList dropdown=(CuteEditor.RichDropDownList)toolctrl.Control;
//the first item is the caption
CuteEditor.RichListItem richitem=dropdown.Items[0];
//clear the items from configuration files
dropdown.Items.Clear();
//add the caption
dropdown.Items.Add(richitem);
//add text and value
dropdown.Items.Add("Email signature","<h3>this is my email signature</h3>");
//add html and text and value
dropdown.Items.Add("<img border=0 align='absMiddle' src= 'http://cutesoft.net/data/contact.gif'/> Contact us","Contact us","support@cutesoft.net");
}
}

VB Example:

If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
  If Not Editor1.ToolControls("Codes") Is Nothing Then
      Dim dropdown As CuteEditor.RichDropDownList
      Dim richitem As CuteEditor.RichListItem
      dropdown = DirectCast(Editor1.ToolControls("Codes").Control, CuteEditor.RichDropDownList)
      'the first item is the caption
      richitem = dropdown.Items(0)
      'clear the items from configuration files
      dropdown.Items.Clear()
    'add the caption
      dropdown.Items.Add(richitem)
     'add text and value
      dropdown.Items.Add("Email signature","<h3>this is my email signature</h3>")
      'Add html and text and value
      dropdown.Items.Add("<img border=0 align='absMiddle' src= 'http://cutesoft.net/data/contact.gif'/> Contact us", "Contact us", "support@cutesoft.net")
  End If
End If
