editor.fire command

[vladimir]

Hi,
I am trying to add several custom buttons, but still have the problems with calling the editor.fire function. It works perfectly for some primitive functions like Bold, JustifyLeft etc. and it's well documented. But I spent a lot of time searching the proper syntax for setting the ForeColor property (the result was 

Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.CommandList[

"Blue"] = function(commandName, editor, args) { editor.fire("ForeColor", { value: "#2e2e6c" }); };

 

Now I am in the same position when trying to fire the FlashManager dialog. While Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.CommandList["InsertPicture"] = function(commandName, editor, args) { editor.fire("ImageManager"); }; works well, the similar Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.CommandList["InsertFlash"] = function(commandName, editor, args) { editor.fire("FlashManager"); }; shows the error message "Dialog parameters for the FlashDialog doesn't exist". Could you tell me the proper syntax?

And another question. Is it possible to hide the "EditModes" buttons at the bottom line (e.g. via css .rade_editorModesCell {display: none !important;}) and invoke the change of the EditMode by clicking my custom buttons (similar to calling javascript editor.fire function)?

Weird, don't know why, but works

<telerik:EditorToolGroup>
      <telerik:EditorTool Name="myInsertFlash" Text="Insert flash" />
       <telerik:EditorTool Name="FlashManager" Text="Insert flash" Visible="false" />
    </telerik:EditorToolGroup>

Hi,

The editor renders only the tools that it needs on the page in order to minimize its HTML and JavaScript footprint. If the FlashManager tool is not added in the toolbar, then the editor will not render the additional scripts/parameters it needs to open the tool, so it will not be possible to call it with the .fire() method. After you have added the tool to the toolbar (even though it is visible="false"), it will be available on the client and you will be able to call it programmatically.

About your second question - try using the set_mode() method to set the EditMode on the client: http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/editor_set_mode.html
