I need to add bold and italic buttons to the HtmlView toolbar

Reply Quote

Hello all,

I'm trying to add bold and italic buttons to the HtmlView toolbar, but Cute Editor won't let me. When I switch into HtmlView mode, the buttons don't show up.

Could you please tell me how to get this to work?

Thanks.

afroblanco,

Please use the following property:

Editor.CodeViewTemplateItemList Property

The toolbar items used in the editor Code View going to this string. Example CodeViewTemplateItemList="Save,Print,Cut,Copy,Paste,Find,ToFullPage,FromFullPage,SelectAll

Unfortunately, this doesn't work. I put the following line in my OnInit :

editor.CodeViewTemplateItemList = "Bold,Italic,Underline,Save,Print,Cut";

The only buttons that showed up were Save, Print, and Cut.

How do I get Bold, Italic, Spellcheck, etc. to show up in Html Mode?

afroblanco,

Have you included the Bold,Italic,Underline in the Normal view?

The buttons in the HTML code are cloned from the Normal view, they are not created from scratch. If they are not included in the normal view, they will not appear in the HTML view.

Well, I don't have AutoConfigure turned on, so it's just using the default setup for Normal view, which includes bold, underline, etc. Should I be explicitly setting the toolbar properties for Normal mode? If so, how should I do it?

afroblanco,

I am sorry for the wrong information.

In version 6.0, the code view buttons are no cloned from Normal mode.

Please just modify CuteSoft_Client\CuteEditor\Configuration\AutoConfigure\Full.config.

Still not working. I modified my Full.config to read as follows :

</codeviewToolbars>

When I do this, the Bold, Italic, and Underline buttons do not show up.

I am sorry. You need to change the default.config file if you use the default setting.

By adding the buttons to the default.config and setting the CodeViewTemplateItemList property, I was able to make the buttons appear.

However, now I'm getting some very strange behavior. If I boldface some words in HTML mode, it will make the text itself bold; it will not add tags. If I then toggle to "Normal" mode, the text is not boldfaced anymore. If I then switch back to HTML mode, the text isn't boldfaced and there's no boldface tags around the text.

Is there a way to get the boldface/underline/italic buttons to insert tags in HTML mode?
