Is it possible to write custom status text on the Cute Editor Control area

Reply Quote

Hi again,

One of the requirements for our company is for the char count functionality to be contained in the CuteEditor control itself. I got the char count stuff to work fine, but now my challange is to get it to render on the Cute Editor instance. This would either be somewhere in the top toolbar with the other buttons, or next to the Normal/ShowHTML/Preview buttons contained in the bottom. (See diagram below) I have no trouble adding custom buttons to the the top toolbar area and if I could change the text dynamically this should take care of the issue, but I only seem to be able to add images to custom buttons. I do not seem to have programatic access to the add controls governed by the ShowCodeViewToolBar property.

Any help is appreciated,

Thanks,

David

David,

You don't have access to add controls to the bottom bar. However you can add it as a custom button and include it into editor's toolbar.

Thanks for the info.

I had no problem including the button onto the toolbar, but how do I change text on the button.

Thanks,

David

David,

You can embed a div tag and assign an ID.

When CuteEditor_OnChange event is fired, update the innerHTML of this control like we did in the folllowing example:

Hi Adam,

Could you show me where to include the div tag. I looked around and all I can figure out is how to link a button to an image - not change the text on the button.

I see how the INNERHTML property works on the editor itself - just not on the button controls. Thanks.

  CuteEditor.ToolControl tc = Editor1.ToolControls["insertcustombutonhere"];
  if(tc!=null)
  {

   // Create a HtmlGenericControl here instead of an image control

System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image Image1 = new System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image ();
   Image1.ToolTip    = "Insert today's date";
   Image1.ImageUrl    = "tools.gif";
   Image1.CssClass    = "CuteEditorButton";
   SetMouseEvents(Image1);
   Image1.Attributes["onclick"]="var d = new Date(); CuteEditor_GetEditor(this).ExecCommand('PasteHTML',false,d.toLocaleDateString())";

tc.Control.Controls.Add(Image1);
}
