RadEditor in ImageEditor problems(questions & bugs)

[Stefan]

Hello,

One of my current tasks is to modify the Image Editor(RadEditor) to allow the user to do some limited Image manipulations. On this task I've encountered some issues :

1) could Image Editor be modified to include a zoom control? For instance if the user has to take a crop from a 2000 x 3000 pixels image, he can't see the whole image fitted in the window.

2) Is there a way to have Image Editor open with Crop "Enabled" by default ? On careful inspection on the js code on the ascx, there are some props in the prototype init; ie. 

1.this._cropEnabled = true; // this doesn't work ?

but none of the changed yield results.

How can the ascx ( or what are the caller parameters ) modified to have crop enabled, and the bounding boxes visible when the Image Editor inits ?

3) When setting the default width and height of the crop area

 

1.//Set initial position
2.this.setBounds({ x: 0, y: 0, width: 70, height: 70 });

All browsers behave and keep these settings, except IE ( which gives a weird value like 48x83 px ). Is this a know bug or I'm dealing with IE faulty box models ? And if there is a known limitation, is there a workaround ?

Thanks!

Hi Stefan,

Straight to your questions:

1. This is a really useful feature and I have logged it into our database for consideration.
2. In order to have Crop enabled by default you need to modify the ImageEditor.prototype.initialize function and call enableCrop(true) method, e.g.:
   

   initialize: function ()
   {
       Telerik.Web.UI.Widgets.ImageEditor.callBaseMethod(this, "initialize");
       this.setupChildren();
   
       var imageEditor = this;
       setTimeout(function () { imageEditor.enableCrop(true) }, 0);
   },

3. This looks like a problem with Internet Explorer and the calculations of the Resizeble object. I have logged it for further investigation and we will do our best to fix this issue for one of our upcoming releases. Unfortunately, I am unable to provide suitable workaround at this point.

Hi Imran,

We are currently working on a new standalone Image Editor control that we will be released in Q2 2011. We plan to implement the requested Zoom Crop feature for the first version of the control.
