Update Editor content on paste

[Michael]

Hello,

I have an Editor where I have setup with the "paste" event.  I am having no problem with the event firing it is that I can't get it to replace the content correctly.  Here is a working example of the problem http://jsfiddle.net/WgvNr/3/.  To test paste in some Microsoft Word content with some formatting.  The paste event will strip the Word formatting.  This works also, but it leaves the original content and the edited content. How can I just have the edited content show in the editor?

$("#txtActions").kendoEditor({

    tools: [

     "bold",

     "italic",

     "underline",

     "insertUnorderedList",

     "insertOrderedList",

 ],

    paste: function (e) {

        var editor = $("#txtActions").data("kendoEditor");

        editor.value(CleanWordHTML(e.html));

        //console.log(editor);

    }

});

Hi Michael,

You can use setTimeout to set the new Editor value.

Could you elaborate a bit?  I added the setTimeout and it still does the same thing.

$("#txtActions").kendoEditor({

    tools: [

     "bold",

     "italic",

     "underline",

     "insertUnorderedList",

     "insertOrderedList",

 ],

    paste: function (e) {

        var editor = $("#txtActions").data("kendoEditor");

        setTimeout(editor.value(CleanWordHTML(e.html)),100);

        //console.log(editor);

    }

});

Hello Michael,

The setTimeout method accepts either a function reference (recommended), or a string as first argument. The current implementation is producing a Javascript error.

I am actually surprised that this functionality isn't built in. Hopefully you can add it to Q3.

I believe all you need in that case is to write event handler in this way

paste: function (e) {
    e.html = CleanWordHTML(e.html);
}

editor then will use modified html content to paste it into right position

PS. I wish documentation on editor events will be better - right now you need to learn javascript source codes to understand how things are working there...
