Overlaying over Silverlight

[Meerkat]

Hello,
Sadly you do not appear to have yet ported your excellent RadEditor to Silverlight. No problem, I thought, I will just overlay the Ajax version over the top of the latest version of Silverlight, using a div with display:none and display:block. All works fine except that after I hide the Editor (display:none), none of the direction keys, or back button work in the Silverlight text boxes. Also the cursor from the RadEditor remains on the Silverlight page. Although this is irritating, I can live with it. Does anyone have any idea what can be done about the arrow keys ? Please do not hesitate to ask if I have have not made the
problem clear.

Many thanks,

Pete.

Hi Pete,

You can open a new support ticket and attach the example there. We will check it and suggest how to proceed further.

Hello Valerie,
Your fix worked perfectly.
I append your reply in case it is of any use to others.
Very many thanks,
Pete.


Hello Pete,

I managed to fix the problem by adding the highlighted code in your Silverlight application:

private void onHideEditor(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    HtmlDocument doc = HtmlPage.Document;
    HtmlElement element = doc.GetElementById("divEditor");

    element.Focus();
    element.SetStyleAttribute("display", "none");
}

It seems that the Silverlight application does not properly get the focus from RadEditor when you hide it, and the it still processes some of the key down events, even if it does not have the focus. So, I just focused RadEditor container element before hiding the editor and everything seems to work fine now. I am sure that focusing almost any other element will have the same effect.

Let us know if you have additional problems.

All the best,
