RichEditingIsAvailable is Always False

Reply Quote

CuteEditor always appears as a textarea with no toolbars or richtext options. While trying to get to the bottom of this I've noticed that the property RichEditingIsAvailable is False. This has been tested on WinXP SP2, IE6 and IE7 RC1 and EnableClientScript returns True on all machines tested.

Interestingly this only occurs when I'm adding the Editor in the code behind page. If I add it as a control in the designer it works fine but when adding it from the pagebehind file it only generates the textarea.

My CodeBehind code:

Protected WithEvents re As New CuteEditor.Editor

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

AddEditor()

End Sub

Sub AddEditor()

Response.Write("Text Before Editor. ")

ShowAnEditor()

Response.Write("<br>Text After Editor")

End Sub

Private Sub ShowAnEditor()

Dim SB As New System.Text.StringBuilder

Dim SW As New StringWriter(SB)

Dim htmlTW As New HtmlTextWriter(SW)

re.ID = "editor"

re.RenderBeginTag(htmlTW)

re.RenderControl(htmlTW)

re.RenderEndTag(htmlTW)

response.Write(SB.ToString())

End Sub

Any answers?

mike_f1,

Please try the following code:

    Protected WithEvents re As CuteEditor.Editor
    Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
            re="Hello world"
        End If
    End Sub

Hi Adam,

Thanks for your reply. I've had to change your code a little as it was producing errors. I changed:

Protected WithEvents re As CuteEditor.Editor

Protected WithEvents re As New CuteEditor.Editor

as it was giving an object reference error.

I also changed:

re = "Hello world"

re.Text = "Hello world"

as it was giving error statiung that Value of type string cannot be converted to type CuteEditor.Editor. The end result was the Hello World text being displayed in the textarea but RichEditing is still false.

Any further ideas or tests?

Mike

Mike,

Can you post the aspx which inherited this code-behind file?

this is the basic aspx page I'm using just to try and get it to work (note: In the codebehind file I have also tried the line label1.text = sb.ToString instead of response.write(sb.ToString) both have the same effect):

<%@ Register TagPrefix="ce" Namespace="CuteEditor" Assembly="CuteEditor" %>

<%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Codebehind="WebForm1.aspx.vb" Inherits="cute.WebForm1" %>

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

<HTML>

<HEAD>

<TITLE>cute editor test</TITLE>

</HEAD>

<asp:label id="Label1" style="Z-INDEX: 102; LEFT: 40px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 128px" runat="server" Width="480px" Height="120px">

</BODY>

</HTML>

mike_f1,

Even you add CuteEditor Register directive at the top of your aspx page, you forget to add the CuteEditor tags in the body of the WebForm.

<CE:Editor id="Editor1" runat="server" ></CE:Editor>

Adam,

If I add the line you suggest then the editor does display as you say but this is not the issue. I am trying to get the editor to display from the code-behind file and not in the HTML itself.

I'm pressuming this is possible?

Adam,

Any news on this problem yet? It needs to be 100% from the code behind page. I'm pressuming that this is possible?

Thanks,

Mike,

Please check this Online Example:

Http://CuteSoft.net/example/Dynamically-Create-Editors.aspx

Source code:

<%@ Register TagPrefix="CE" Namespace="CuteEditor" Assembly="CuteEditor"%>
<%@ Page Language="C#" ValidateRequest="False"%>
   <body>
  <form runat="server">
   <h4>How many Editors would you like to create? (<i>Please choose vaule between 1 and 10</i>)</h4>
   <hr>
   <asp:textbox runat="Server" id="txtTBCount" Columns="3" />
   <asp:RangeValidator runat="server" ControlToValidate="txtTBCount"
     MinimumValue="1" MaximumValue="10" Type="Integer"
     ErrorMessage="Make sure that you choose a value between 1 and 10!" ID="Rangevalidator1" NAME="Rangevalidator1"/>
   <br />
   <asp:button runat="server" Text="Create Dynamic Editors" OnClick="CreateEditors" ID="Button1" NAME="Button1"/>
   <p>
    <asp:PlaceHolder runat="server" id="EditorsHere" />
   </p>

  </form>
  <script runat="server">

   int count = 1;

   void IterateThroughChildren(Control parent)
   {
    foreach (Control c in parent.Controls)
    {
     if (c.GetType().ToString().Equals("CuteEditor.Editor") &&
      c.ID == null)
     {
     ((CuteEditor.Editor) c).Text = "Editor " + count.ToString();
     ((CuteEditor.Editor) c).AutoConfigure = AutoConfigure.Simple;
     ((CuteEditor.Editor) c).Height = 200;
     ((CuteEditor.Editor) c).ThemeType = ThemeType.Office2003_BlueTheme;

     count++;
     }

     if (c.Controls.Count > 0)
     {
      IterateThroughChildren(c);
     }
    }
   }

   void CreateEditors(Object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
    if (!Page.IsValid) return;

    int n = Int32.Parse(txtTBCount.Text);

    // now, create n Editors, adding them to the PlaceHolder EditorsHere
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
    {
     EditorsHere.Controls.Add(new CuteEditor.Editor());
    }

    // now, set the Text property of each CuteEditor.Editor
    IterateThroughChildren(this);
   }

</script>
</body>
</HTML>

Hope it helps.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Hi Adam,

Sorry for a late reply, I was called to some other projects. This code seems to work but this is not what I am after. Our application must be able to display an editor from the code-behind file and not from within the html page.

Any suggestions?

Mike

Mike,

Just move the following code into your aspx code-behind file:

</script>

Playing around with this code, I can get it to work but the editor needs to be displayed from a DLL in the code-behind file. Is there a way in which the html can be produced and sent to the page with a response.write() command or something similar?
