Getting values from popup via hot keys into RadEditor

[Raka]

Hi

We want to write a tool in two parts --
1) a popup that will have several rows of 2 associated pieces of information
for ex -  'AAA', 'S1'
             'BBB', 'S2' etc.
Each row needs to be associated with a hot key.


2) the main page is the RadEditor
Here when we type, we want to be able to pick up 'AAA' via its associated hot key.  When we click a button 'Replace', it will replace 'AAA' with 'S1'.

Are there any tools in Telerik available at this point that can be useful for this purpose?  We also need a auto-complete textbox.

Thanks

Hi,

RadEditor does not offer such functionality out-of-the box and it is not part of the advertised features of the control.

Perhaps the best way is to implement your scenario as a separate solution using an editable DIV element
<div contenteditable="true" style="width:300px;height:300px;border: 1px solid red;">AAA BBB</div>

as the editor and a standard browser window.open dialog. If you are able to implement a fully functional solution using a standard editable DIV and a browser dialog, we will help you to replace the DIV with RadEditor.

All the best,

Ok, thanks.
Using your other suggestion elsewhere, I managed to create a RadComboBox inside RadEditor tool area.  My problem is how to associate a column value with a hot key.  If the combox box has ['AAA', 'F1'], ['BBB','F2'] rows, and they click 'F2', I want it to autopopulate the editor with 'BBB'.  This can be done with EditorTools but how does one do it with EditorDropDown or RadComboBox?

Thanks, Sandhia

Hello,

RadComboBox does not offer the requested item shortcut functionality out-of-the box and it is not possible to assign a different shortcut to each item in the combo. This feature is also not supported by the custom dropdowns of RadEditor.

To achieve your requirement you could implement a custom toolstrip and assign shortcuts to the different tools in it. Every toolstrip item will execute a different command.
