I am having a look at this as a possible replacement for a Dart PowerWeb TextBox.

 

The installation looks similar - some dlls for the bin, some client files, a license file and something in the httpmodule in web.config

 

I have had nothing but problems trying to get the Dart Textbox running in new sites - or when I changed to Framework 4.0 ... I'm wondering if people have the same issues with Cute Editor?

 

And, on your deployment page it says: 'The "CuteSoft_Client" folder and all file it contains should be deployed to http://{your site}/{your application}/ on your web site.'

 

So, just to be clear - the CuteSoft_Client folder goes into your site in the same way as you might have a js or css folder for your scripts and styles?

CuteSoft.net is running windows 8 and Framework 4.0. It should not have any problems with Framework 4.0.

Correct. It contains all the necessary scripts (aspx files, css files, images and javascript files).

I will be using the text box to allow users to generate html formatted text to use as the body of an email. I also need to send a plain version.

 

Can you access both on postback? Like:

 

string HtmlFormattedText = CuteEditor.Text;

strong PlainText = CuteEditor.TextPlain;

 

? Something like that?

 

Is there a trial I can download and try?

Please ignore. Have downloaded and am trying now.

 

How do get the look of the box on this page? With Common icons, Format Icons, Paragraph icons grouped in rectangles? I don't see an icon for pasting from Word. Guess you just paste? (Some boxes have a Word icon you are supposed to click to clean Word's html - they don't work very will - hoping this one does.

Hi FirstSignInNoGood,

 

you can get the editor content when postback like  string HtmlFormattedText = CuteEditor.Text;

 

And you can get the plain text like the example below

 

 

You can downlaod the trial demo at http://cutesoft.net/downloads/folders/21904/download.aspx

 

Regards,

Hi Ken

Thanks for that. As a matter of curiousity, why didn't you say you can get the html text and plain text like this?

 

protected void btnSend_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

string htmlText = Editor1.Text;

string plainText = Editor1.PlainText;

}

 

Couple of formatting issues. If I create text in Outlook using Word as the text Editor, when I paste it into the text box and I have said 'yes, I do want my Word text cleaned' .... bullets are appearing with no indent. If you look at the html they are as you would expect - just a pure unordered list.

 

But if I put some bullets in here, in this textbox on this page ...

• one
• two
• three

they appear indented.

 

Which I don't understand. The source here shows an unordered list. If I clean a Word document that has bullets - it turns them into an unordered list (i.e. identical html) but they are not indented. Is there some default css at work on this page that does not get 'called' after you clean Word generated text.

 

Also, if I make one word in a sentence bold in a Word document and paste into the CuteEditor, clean the Word formatting - the space between the bold word and the next word disappears. Which is a bit of a drag as my clients use lots of bold formatting.
