    Requirements

    RadControls version

     

    .NET version

     

    Visual Studio version

     

    programming language

     

    browser support

    all browsers supported by RadControls


    PROJECT DESCRIPTION                                    
    We added a custom tool to radeditor that allows multiple CSS class assignment. Find below the code and feel free to include it in your editor. Hopefully, the Telerik team will add this possibility in a future version of the RadEditor :)

    First, add an entry to the xml File with your toolbar configuration:
    <tool name="CSSExtender" />


    Add following JavaScript to your page:
    /*************** CSS Chooser ******************/
    Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.CommandList["CSSExtender"] = function(commandName, editor, args) {
        {
            arguments = new Object();
            arguments.elem = editor.getSelectedElement();
             
            var CssArray = editor.getCssArray();
            var Classes = new Array();
            $(CssArray).each(function(i,e)
            {
                Classes.push(e[0]);
            });
             
            arguments.classes = Classes;
             
            var myCallbackFunction = function (sender, args) {
                var CssClasses = args;
                $(editor.getSelectedElement()).removeClass();
                $(editor.getSelectedElement()).addClass(CssClasses);
            }
             
            if($(arguments.elem).get(0).tagName != "BODY")
            {
            editor.showExternalDialog(
                '/Providers/HtmlEditorProviders/ToFlexWYSIWYGProvider09/Toolbars/CssExtender.aspx',
                arguments,
                280,
                310,
                myCallbackFunction,
                null,
                'CSS Class Chooser',
                true,
                Telerik.Web.UI.WindowBehaviors.Close + Telerik.Web.UI.WindowBehaviors.Move,
                false,
                false);
            }
            else
            {
                alert("Please select an element first.");
            }
        };
    };

    Note that you have to include jQuery to your page.

    Create a file "CSSExtender.aspx", adapt the path to this file in the previous JavaScript file and insert following code:
    <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" EnableViewState="false" %>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <style type="text/css">
        body
        {
            font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
            font-size: 11px;
        }
        h1
        {
            font-size: 14px;
            margin-bottom: 1em;
        }
         
        #AvailableClasses, #CssClasses { width:200px; }
        #btnAddClass, #btnClearClasses { margin:0; padding:0; }
    </style>
    <h1>CSS Extender - Tag: <<span id="CurrentTag"></span>></h1>
    <br />
    <select name="AvailableClasses" id="AvailableClasses" size="10" multiple="multiple"></select> <input type="image" src="/admin/ControlPanel/images/iconbar_addmodule.gif" id="btnAddClass" /><br />
    <input name="CssClasses" type="input" id="CssClasses" value=""> <input type="image" src="/images/delete.gif" id="btnClearClasses" /><br />
    <input type="button" onclick="javascript:insertLink();" value="Save" />
    <input type="button" onclick="javascript:cancel();" value="Cancel" />
    <script type="text/javascript">
        if (window.attachEvent) {
            window.attachEvent("onload", initDialog);
        }
        else if (window.addEventListener) {
            window.addEventListener("load", initDialog, false);
        }
     
        var btn = null;
     
        function getRadWindow() {
            if (window.radWindow) {
                return window.radWindow;
            }
            if (window.frameElement && window.frameElement.radWindow) {
                return window.frameElement.radWindow;
            }
            return null;
        }
     
        function initDialog() {
            arguments = getRadWindow().ClientParameters; //return the arguments supplied from the parent page
            $("#CurrentTag").text($(arguments.elem).get(0).tagName);
            $("#CssClasses").val($(arguments.elem).attr("class"));
             
            $(arguments.classes).each(function(i,e)
            {
                var Option = "<option>" + e + "</option>";
                $("#AvailableClasses").append(Option);
            });
             
            $("#btnAddClass").click(function() { $("#AvailableClasses option:selected").each(function() { $("#CssClasses").val($("#CssClasses").val() + " " + $(this).val()); }) });
            $("#btnClearClasses").click(function() { $("#CssClasses").val(""); });
        }
     
        function insertLink() //fires when the Insert Link button is clicked
        {    
            btn = $("#CssClasses").val();
            getRadWindow().close(btn); //use the close function of the getRadWindow to close the dialog and pass the arguments from the dialog to the callback function on the main page.
        }
     
        function cancel() {
            getRadWindow().close();
        }
    </script>

    Note again, this is a dirty solution. But if you require a multiple CSS class selector, you can use this. If you have suggestions to improve it, feel free to comment.

    Hi Rumen,

     

    This is kind of old but I guess you tested this multiple class application. Do you have any clue why this is not longer working?

    I try to implement but to no avail. It seems that the classes are no longer passed this way from the parent page.

    Can you help?

     

    Regards,

    Marc

    Hi Marc,

    The solution is based on the following demo - https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/editor/examples/customdialogs/defaultcs.aspx and my test shows that it works properly with the latest version - http://youtu.be/n85QOPE4BBg?hd=1. You just need to import jQuery or use the built-in one in Telerik with $telerik.$.

    For your convenience, I have attached my test files.

     

    Regards,
    Rumen

    Hi Rumen, Thanks works now...the problem was the missing JQuery.
