Hey,

 

I have copied the new CuteSoft v5 over my old version and I am now getting an error. This code worked with the version 4.x version I had before. I have removed the editor from the pages and added it back. Any one have any ideas on why this code doesn't work with the CE5?

Thanks,

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? I have sent emails to Support and as you see posted here, but I have gotten no response from CuteSoft...

 

Thanks,

Paul,

 

Please try the following code:

 

    //see the AutoConfigure/Full.config
    //<item type="dropdown" name="Links" RenderItemBorder="true" text="[[Links]]" command="InsertLink" />
    if(Editor1.ToolControls["Links"]!=null)
    {
     CuteEditor.RichDropDownList dropdown=(CuteEditor.RichDropDownList)Editor1.ToolControls["Links"].Control;
         

     //the first item is just the caption
     CuteEditor.RichListItem richitem=dropdown.Items[0];

     //clear the items from configuration files
     //see Configuration/Shared/Common.config
     dropdown.Items.Clear();

     //add the caption - Links
     dropdown.Items.Add(richitem);

     //value only
     dropdown.Items.Add("http://www.asp.net/");

     //text and value
     dropdown.Items.Add("Microsoft","http://www.microsoft.com/");

     //html and text and value
     dropdown.Items.Add("<font color=red>CuteSoft</font>","*CuteSoft*","http://www.cutesoft.net/");
    }

 

Hope it helps.

 

Let me know if you have any further questions.

 

 

 

In the version 5.0, the Link of RichDropDownList has been changed to the TreeDropDownList.

Please use the following code instead:    

 

   //Get the TreeDropDownList
   //check <item type="treedropdown" name="LinkTree" text="[[Links]]" width="50" command="InsertLink" />
   //check Common.config
   CuteEditor.ToolControl tc = Editor1.ToolControls["LinkTree"];
   CuteEditor.TreeDropDownList tdd = (CuteEditor.TreeDropDownList) tc.Control;   
   
   //clear the items from configuration files
   //see Configuration/Shared/Common.config
   //tdd.Items.Clear();
     
   //Add items by code
   CuteEditor.TreeListItem rootitem=new CuteEditor.TreeListItem("Root",null);
   rootitem.Selectable=false;
   tdd.Items.Add(rootitem);
   rootitem.Items.Add("Asp<font color=red>.Net</font>","Asp.Net","http://asp.net");
   rootitem.Items.Add("DotNetNuke.Net","DotNetNuke.Net","http://DotNetNuke.com");
   rootitem.Items.Add("CuteSoft","CuteSoft","http://CuteSoft.net");
