Dynamically Create/Update Cute Editor at run time

Reply Quote

Hi,

I want to create the editor dynamically at run time and I have done that. My problem is I can't get/update the content/text from the editor when I created dynamically. With the standart textbox in VS.NET 2003 I use: request.form(id) to get its value but apparently this doesn't apply to Cute editor. I also tried page.findcontrol(id) but to no avail.

The reason I don't want to use the datagrid example is because I have to dynamically create other different controls as well not simply just Cute Editor.

=========================================================================

for i as integer = 0 to 5
Dim tr As New HtmlTableRow

Dim td As New HtmlTableCell
Dim ce As New CuteEditor.Editor

   ce.ID = i
   ce.AutoConfigure = CuteEditor.AutoConfigure.Minimal
   ce.Height = Unit.Pixel(200)
   ce.Width = Unit.Pixel(300)

   td.Controls.Add(ce)
   tr.Cells.Add(td)

table.rows.insert(i,tr)

==========================================================================

Any ideas of how to get the content from the editor?

Thanks

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,

thanks for the post, unfortunately it wasn't the answer i'm looking for. Please refer to my previous post.

My question was how do you SAVE the content in cute editor - how do you find the cute editor object when dynamically generated and save its content

Thanks

You misunderstood me again. my problem is not populating the controls at run time but how to find the controls and the content e.g "hello there" when click update. Thanks

hdn,

Can you post the code showing how to create the controls?

Then I will figure out how to find those controls.

Right now the only option is doing a loop:

  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);
     }

Did you ever figure out a solution to your problem of retrieving the HTML from a dynamically generated editor?

I have created an editor control and then iterated through the request.form values. The posted data associated with the editor's ID contains some strange items (e.g. test becomes te#7t).

Thanks
ROB

Thanks! I got this part, but after user enter content in the editor, how do I get it from the editor since it is dynamically created.
