Hi,
Is it possible to modify the contents of the hyperlink manager? I am aware that we can add custom dialogs but we would like to add an extra tab within the hyperlink manager. The perfect scenario would be to be able to define a new tab and specify a control to render within it with a defined callback function. Is this possible to either request as a feature of the editor or have some custom way of achieving this?
Alternatively, in the old editor it was possible to modify the controls in question, will this be offered as an option within the prometheus version of the editor? This isnt as flexible as it requires modification when new version of the controls are released.
Thanks
Rob

Hi Rob,
One of the features of RadEditor Prometheus edition is that all dialogs are built into the editor's dll. This solves the major burder and problem with having to copy a separate folder into your application (RadControls) and make sure that it is always up to date.
However, while this approach offers great convenience in 95% of the cases, in situations like yours it makes things harder. With this new implementation it is, of course, as easy to integrate an external dialog as it was with the RadEditor Classic version. Yet, extending an existing built-in editor dialog is a hard as there are no external .ascx or .aspx -es.
We made some tests on our end, and we will address this situation soon - by implementing the necessary API changes and by providing the an example and documentation.
At this point we suggest attaching to the OnClientCommandExecuting event and opening an existing dialog box (as you yourself suggested in your support ticket).
Kind regards,

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I think that the solution that we've been working on using a separate dialog will be sufficient for our current needs. I do see that we may need the ability in the future to disable some of the options within the link manager, which I would imagine could quite easily be added and controlled by properties on the editor itself, or simply hidden using a little custom CSS.
Thanks for your help.

Rob
