Controling Paste content

[François MAESEELE]

Hi,
I have a few problems with the RadEditor.

1. I need to restrict the text lenght to 100cars for example. But if the user use the Paste button, he can paste text that has a greater size. How can I control that ?
2. I need to restrict the number of cars per line. How can I do that ?
3. I need to prevent any user to paste html code as I wan pure text content. How can I do that ?

Thanks a lot.

François

Hi François,

You can use the OnClientPasteHtml event of RadEditor to modify the pasted content. The OnClientPasteHtml event is also fired when the Paste (Ctrl+V) command is executed. It is useful in scenarios when the pasted content should be modified and inserted in the content area.

<script type="text/javascript">
function OnClientPasteHtml(sender, args)
{
    var commandName = args.get_commandName();
    var value = args.get_value();
    
    if (commandName == "Paste")
    {
        modify the content in the value variable and paste it using the set_value method
        args.set_value(newElement.outerHTML);
    }
}
</script>

You can configure RadEditor to paste plain text by setting the StripFormattingOnPaste property to "All" or "AllExceptNewLines".

Hi,
Thanks for your answer.
Regarding the option StripFormatingOnPaste, you are right. I was using the other StripFormattingOptions instead.
Also, it seems to me that if a limit of 100cars is set to the control, the paste operation shouldn't allow a user to paste more than these 100cars, isn't it ?

Hi François,

RadEditor does not offer a built-in feature which will restrict the amount of pasted characters / words. RadEditor offers the ability to restrict the characters only when submitting the content as it is shown in this live demo: Max Content Length.

If you want to restrict the characters while pasting content see the solution provided in this forum thread: Charector limit in Rad:Editor.
