Is is possible to control the style of the items that appear in the Paragraph "fancy" dropdown menu?

What I really need to know is how to set the Font and Family for the dropdown entries: Heading 1, Heading 2, etc. Can I do this?

You need to make sure all the css classes exist in the header of page the content is being display as well in or they won't work.

VB:

Editor1.FontFacesList = new string() {"Arial","Verdana","Georgia"}

Editor1.ParagraphsList = new string() {"Normal","Heading 1","Heading 2"}

The solution to this problem is still not clear to me.

I added this line to my application

kbEditor.ParagraphsList = new string[] {"Normal","Heading 3","Heading 4", "Formatted"};

This made the desired list of paragraph styles appear in the pulldown menu, but they were not formatted with their respective styles. How do I make them appear formatted in their respective styles? I tried adding the style information in several different places. Can you give an example of where >exactly< the style information goes? I do not want to add the style information for the document being edited to the main page if possible. Our company has different style standards for intranet applications and external documents and I would like to apply the menu styles only to the document being edited.

I looked at the source code for this example page http://cutesoft.net/document/ParagraphsList.aspx and noticed that the pulldown items are wrapped in their respective tags like <h3>Heading 3</h3>. Do we need to add that in our declarative string to make this work?

I found the option EnableFancyDropDownMenu and enabled it, even though I only want to enable it for the Paragraph menu. When I enabled it, it triggered a lot of JavaScript errors on the page. Also, the styles that appeared on the menu were in the styles associated with the content management application rather than the document being edited.

I've decided to deprioritize this for our current project and concentrate on other outstanding issues and go back to the non-Fancy paragraph menu, as it's really just a nice-to-have item.

caitlin,

Can you try the following code we used on our example?

To customize paragraph dropdownlist, you need config the ParagraphsList property as followings:

Editor1.ParagraphsList = new string[] {"Normal","Heading 1","Heading 2"};

<%@ Page Language="C#" ValidateRequest="False" %>

<%@ Register TagPrefix="CE" Namespace="CuteEditor" Assembly="CuteEditor" %>

<html>

<head>

<title>ASP and ASP.NET WYSIWYG Editor - Config paragraph dropdownlist</title>

</head>

<body >

<h2>Config paragraph dropdownlist</h2>

<CE:Editor id="Editor1" EnableFancyDropDownMenu="true" AutoConfigure="EnableAll"

runat="server" ></CE:Editor><br /><br />

<asp:Button id="btnUpdate" onclick="Submit" Runat="server" Text="Show HTML"></asp:Button>

<asp:Literal ID="Literal1" Runat="server" />

</form>

</body>

</html>

void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

{

if (IsPostBack)

{

Literal1.Text = "<h2>The HTML you typed is...</h2><br>";

Literal1.Text += Server.HtmlEncode(Editor1.XHTML);

}

Editor1.ParagraphsList = new string[] {"Normal","Heading 1","Heading 2"};

}

public void Submit(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

{

Literal1.Text = "<h2>The HTML you typed is...</h2><br>";

Literal1.Text += Server.HtmlEncode(Editor1.XHTML);

}

</script>
