Reply Quote

I have a a dropdownlist within the Editor that i populate from a database.

I would like to add the selectededItem to the editor eg:

if i select name from the dropdown list, i would like the selectedItem.Text (Name) to be displayed within the editor's content.

Do you have any examples or code that could point me in the right direction

Thanks

DJV,

Please check the following example:

create/register a custom button (Server Control) to Cute Editor

How to create/register a custom button (Server Control) so that it can be used in the template?( C# | VB )

This example demonstrates how easy it can be to add Server Controls to the CuteEditor and register it into Cute Editor toolbar.

The source code of this example can be found in the download package.

I had a problem getting the dropdown to display the selectItem. text.

The dropdownlist has been added as a cute Editer control, i need to display the dropdown.selecteditem.text within the editor's content.

I can do this with no problem if i set the dropdown as a control outside the editor.

I have pasted some of the code, on dropdown.Attributes["onchange"] i would like to insert dropdown.selecteditem.text instead of InsertLink

DropDownList dropdown = new DropDownList();

container.Controls.Add(dropdown);

dropdown.Attributes["onchange"] = "CuteEditor_DropDownCommand(ths,'InsertLink)";

dropdown.CssClass = "CuteEditorDropDown";

dropdown.DataValueField = "Desc";

dropdown.DataTextField = "Desc";

dropdown.DataSource = myDT;

dropdown.DataBind();

Thanks in andvance for any help.

djv,

Do you realize the above event is a client side event?

If you want to do this, please check the JavaScript API example.

I did realise that i needed a clientside event, im a bit new to javascript so please bear with me.

I managed to get it working using the code below, i now need to insert a "#" at the begining and at the end of the inserted text.
eg: If "Name" is selected from the dropdown i would like to insert "#Name#"
Please advise to the best way of doing this.

DropDownList dropdown = new DropDownList();

container.Controls.Add(dropdown);

dropdown.Attributes["Command"]="PasteHTML";
dropdown.Attributes["onchange"]="CuteEditor_DropDownCommand(this,'"+ddl.Attributes["Command"]+"')";

dropdown.CssClass = "CuteEditorDropDown";
dropdown.DataValueField = "Desc";
dropdown.DataTextField = "Desc";
dropdown.DataSource = myDT;
dropdown.DataBind();

Thanks
DJV

Adam,

Thanks for your reply.

Unfortunatly i'm still struggling with this, I can get this working using c#(server side) below is c# that should give you a better idea of what i need to do, I need to be able to do the same thing using Javasript API(client side)

protected void DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

Editor1.Text+= "##" + DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Text + "##";

DropDownList1.SelectedValue = "0";

}

Thanks
