I'm trying to code the editor so that when someone clicks the 'New' icon they get a javascript popup that asks if they really want to clear the document.  I realize they could just hit the 'undo' icon, but you know users aren't that smart sometimes.  If I use the following code, I can easily attach my javascript method to the button...

 

CType(oCuteEditor.ToolControls("New").Control, System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebControl).Attributes.Add("onclick", "return ConfirmWindow(""Are you sure you want to clear this document??\nSelect 'OK' to delete or 'Cancel' to quit."");")

 

The problem is that if I add the above 'onclick' event to the image, it no longer functions as a CuteEditor 'New' button, regardless if they select 'ok or 'cancel' in my javascript window.  My javascript window appears, but the editor document doesn't clear.  Is there a way to do this differently?  This works fine for all of my custom pages and any visual studio built-in control.

 

Here is the Javascript that the above control is attached to.  It returns either true or false.  

 

<script language="javascript">
<!--
function ConfirmWindow(strDialogMessage){
var strMessage;
var intResponse;
intResponse = confirm(strDialogMessage);
if (intResponse == 1) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
//-->
</script>

 

Thanks in advance,

Jon

Thank you for the response, but that solution doesn't work very well for me.  I am dynamically inserting controls into my page (form), so when I use <%= xx %> strings, .NET gives me errors saying that I can't dynamically add/change controls in a form that uses those string types.  Any ideas?  Error I am getting when trying to add one of my javascript controls called 'ClearFieldControl' is below.  I have many controls that I add dynamically to my pages to reduce my coding overhead.  Thanks for your help!

 

The Controls collection cannot be modified because the control contains code blocks (i.e. <% ... %>).

I think I found a solution for what I need.  You can continue to override the built-in New button as in my first example, but then just call your editor1.ExecCommand("New");  javascript.  I resolved my one issue above by just creating an additional argument to my javascript function for the Editor Client ID property.  Now this way it can be dynamic, I can continue to add my other controls dynamically, and the javascript function itself becomes dynamic.  This also means that you could potentially use the same javascript function for different buttons, links, or images on the form.

 

The code is shown below.  I could easily make the javascript more diverse by putting in additional 'if' statements to test what button was pushed and respond to each one individually providing unique results.

 

The following code snippets prompt the user to verify that they really want to clear the document.  If they do, then it will clear the document using the Cute ExecCommand javascript function.  If they don't want to clear it, the function exits and does nothing.

 

The following Javascript goes into your html. 

  function ConfirmWindow(strDialogMessage,EID){ var strMessage; var intResponse; intResponse = confirm(strDialogMessage); if (intResponse == 1) { // get the cute editor instance var editor1 = document.getElementById(EID); editor1.ExecCommand("New"); return true; } else { return false; } }

 

The following code goes in your vb code-behind page...
