Hi Adam :
We have the requirement of adding custom label to the toolbar. The intention is to show the character count in the toolbar. The following are the changes I did but it didn't seem to work and render the label on runtime. We are using version 5.0. We have a custom config file like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
 <contextmenu>
  <!--<item name="Editing" value="True"/>
  <item name="Format" value="True"/>
  <item name="Insert" value="True"/>
  <item name="InsertAdvanced" value="True"/>
  <item name="InsertFiles" value="True"/>
  <item name="InsertForms" value="True"/>
  <item name="Relative" value="True"/>
  <item name="Tags" value="True"/>
  <item name="Verbs" value="True"/>-->
 </contextmenu>
 <toolbars>
  <item type="g_start" />
  <item type="image" name="Cut" />
  <item type="image" name="Copy" />
  <item type="image" name="Paste" />
  <!--
  <item type="image" name="PasteText" />
  <item type="image" name="PasteWord" />
  -->
  <item type="image" name="Delete" />
  <!--
  <item type="separator" />
  <item type="image" name="Find" />
  -->
  <item type="separator" />
  <item type="image" name="Undo" />
  <item type="image" name="Redo" />
  <item type="separator" />
  <item type="image" name="Bold" />
  <item type="image" name="Italic" />
  <item type="image" name="Underline" imagename="under" />
  <item type="separator" />
  <item type="forecolor" />
  <item type="backcolor" />
  <item type="separator" />
  <item type="holder" name="MyHolderName" />
  <item type="g_end" />
  </toolbars>
</configuration>

 

 

 

 

Server side code:

Don,

 

Please check this example:

 

http://cutesoft.net/example/howto/RegisterCustomButton/cs/RegisterCustomButton.aspx

>>  <item type="holder" name="MyHolderName" />

Please don't change the holder name.

<item type="holder" name="insertcustombutonhere" />

Another suggestion is:

  CuteEditor.ToolControl tc = OuterEditor.ToolControls["insertcustombutonhere"];
  if(tc!=null)
  {    
   System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image Image1 = new System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image ();
   Image1.ToolTip    = "Close";
   Image1.ImageUrl    = "../Themes/custom/images/close.gif";
   Image1.CssClass    = "CuteEditorButton";
   SetMouseEvents(Image1);
   Image1.Attributes["onclick"]="top.returnValue=null; self.close();";
   
   System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image Image2 = new System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image ();
   Image2.ToolTip    = "Add uneditable regions";
   Image2.ImageUrl    = "../Themes/custom/images/noneditable.gif";
   Image2.CssClass    = "CuteEditorButton";
   SetMouseEvents(Image2);
   Image2.Attributes["onclick"]="CuteEditor_GetEditor(this).ExecCommand('noneditable');";
   
   tc.Control.Controls.Add(Image2);
   tc.Control.Controls.Add(Image1);
  }

Keep me posted


  

 

 

Hi Adam :

 

     I still can't see any image or html control being rendered. I changed the holder tag back to the original name and used the code you gave me - still does not work. Is there any property I need to turn on. I am using custom config file.

 

Thanks and looking forward for your quick reply.

 

Don.

Any fix found??????

Have you run this example successfully?

 

 

 

The source code of the above example is included in the download package.

 

 

I tried the code snippet you provided me earlier and it does not work. I sent you our config file in my previous message  and I changed the name of the holder as you said. Can you try the holder method and provide me with serverside code. I want to render a label not a button.

 
Let me know if you need any more information.

Thanks,

 

Don P.
