RadEditor MaxLength Chack On Type adn Paste

[Noble]

Hi Team,

I am using below function for radetiro maxlength chack on type and paste ,it is working fine for type but not for paste. I am using  getvalue method to get the content of radeditor after paste but this method gives content like (<P><Font>This is the real text</Font></P>) so how can i get the complete text .There is one method gettext() but this method doesnt give complete text of radeditor . I have tried different method getTextarea(),getcontent(),getcontentarea() but end up with no solution. Please provide me solution for that.

function isAlphaNumericKey(keyCode) {
if ((keyCode > 47 && keyCode < 58) || (keyCode > 64 && keyCode < 91)) {
return true;
}
return false;
}
function LimitCharacters(editor) {
var maxTextLength = editor._maxTextLength;
var messageText = 'Please enter characters less than or equal to ' + editor._maxTextLength + '.';
editor.attachEventHandler("keydown", function (e) {
e = (e == null) ? window.event : e;
if (isAlphaNumericKey(e.keyCode)) {
textLength = editor.get_text().length;
if (textLength >= maxTextLength) {
alert(messageText);
e.returnValue = false;
editor.setFocus();
return false;
}
}
});
}
function CalculateLength(editor, value) {
var textLength = editor.get_text().length;
var clipboardLength = value.length;
textLength += clipboardLength;
return textLength;
}
　
function OnClientPasteHtml(editor, args) {
debugger;
var commandName = args.get_commandName();
var value = args.get_value();
var maxTextLength = editor._maxTextLength;
var messageText = 'Please paste characters less than or equal to ' + editor._maxTextLength + '.';
if (commandName == "PasteFromWord"
|| commandName == "PasteFromWordNoFontsNoSizes"
|| commandName == "PastePlainText"
|| commandName == "PasteAsHtml"
|| commandName == "Paste") {
var textLength = CalculateLength(editor, value);
var textLength2 = editor.get_text().length;
var originalText = editor.get_text() + value;
var requiredLength = maxTextLength - textLength2;
var strippedContent = value.replace(/\<img .+?\>/ig, "");
if (textLength2 == maxTextLength) {
alert(messageText);
var strippedContent = value.replace(/\<img .+?\>/ig, "");
var contentReal = (originalText.substring(0, maxTextLength));
args.set_value(contentReal);
args.set_cancel(true);
}
if (requiredLength != 0) {
var contentReal = (value.substring(0, requiredLength));
args.set_value(contentReal);
}
}
}

Hello Noble,

The paste event cannot retrieve directly stripped content, you should additionally use some method to strip all unwanted tags or another content.

The following example uses the RadEditor's Utils namespace to strip all formatting and leave only the text:

<telerik:RadEditor runat="server" ID="RadEditor1"
     OnClientPasteHtml="OnClientPasteHtml"></telerik:RadEditor>

<script type="text/javascript">
    function OnClientPasteHtml(editor, args) {
        var cleanedText = Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.Utils.stripFormatting(args.get_value(), "ALL");

        // This code will replace all   entities to ordinary white spaces.
        var replaceWSEntity = cleanedText.replace(/ /gi, " ");
    }
</script>
