Disabling editor on client

Reply Quote

I am setting the editor.enabled property to false in the code-behind file but it remains enabled when rendered on the client. Also, how do I disable the editor in the client (editor.disabled = true; ???)

Re: Disabling editor on client

I have a page where the client is "disabled" using the readonly property. I have a checkbox which when checked sets readonly = false in the vb code behind file in the checked changed property for the checkbox.

This works - the editor becomes editable and I can type stuff in. The problem comes when I try to change the font color or background color - the buttons don't appear to work. The other buttons (such as bold, italics, etc) work and format the typed text accordingly but not the font and background color.

This is only an issue if the editor is readonly = true when the page is loaded. If the editor is not readonly when the editor is loaded, then this issue does not happen.

Any ideas? Thanks

I tried the sample from the link and it reproduces my problem exactly.

Click on the "False" radio button to disable readonly. Then double click on the word "type" to highlight it. Clicking either the font color or the font background color button doesnt affect the text (i.e. the text is not set to red and the background is not set to yellow).

It worked on the first try but I note that when I first went into the page the editor was not readonly (the radio button was on true, but I could type in text in the editor itself).

I then clicked on false, then true then false again, and I could type in text, but selecting a word and then clicking on the font color or background color buttons didnt change the color of the font or background. Again the other buttons seem to work (bold, italics, etc), just not the font and background color buttons.

Can you try this example?

What's the point?

If you set this property to true, the editor should be ready-only.

Yup, that sample is indeed read only - so I wasnt able to edit anything.

The problem is if an editor that was readonly on page load (not postback) and then readonly is set to ="false" afterwards. I could edit except clicking on the font color and background doesnt change the highlighted text.
