Disable Drag Drop Text

[Michael Pullella]

Is it possible to prevent the user from dragging and dropping text in an editor (and therefore changing the text)

The editor currently is not allowing the user to change text via typing, they highlight existing words and "highlight them" via a custom toolbar.

We don't want the user to be able to change the text, but because they are able to select words, and drag them to a new location in the document, they are able to change the text of the document.

We still want the user to be able to hightlight text in the document, we just don't want them to be able to move it to a new location in the document.

Hi Michael,

You can disable drag and drop operations in the IFRAME content area of RadEditor using the JavaScript following code:

<script type="text/javascript">
function OnClientLoad(editor, args)
{
   var element = document.all ? editor.get_document().body : editor.get_document();
   var eventHandler  = document.all ? "drop" : "dragstart";
   var selElem  = editor.getSelectedElement();
   $telerik.addExternalHandler(element, eventHandler, function(e) {
   setTimeout(function() { editor.undo(1); }, 10);
   $telerik.cancelRawEvent(e);
   });
}
</script>
<telerik:radeditor runat="server"
   OnClientLoad="OnClientLoad"
   ID="RadEditor1">
   <Content>sample content test <br/> test</Content>
</telerik:radeditor>

All the best,
Rumen
