Texteditor in WebApps?

Targets Web
1

I really need a HTML-Editor in my current Webapp-project.

I found this topic: https://forum.xojo.com/7991-simple-html-editor/p1#p66597
But I didn’t brought the example to live.

How can I build a really simple (wysiwyg)-HTML-Editor into my project?

Thanks alot!

Web Custom Controls has a WYSIWYG. Have not tried it and cannot find it in their demo though :confused:

Hmm,
I found nothing…

“CLEditor – a full featured, WYSIWYG HTML editor with support for tables, images, and icons.”
Can’t find it in the demo though.

This is what I’m looking for. But I have to purchase all controls (which I don’t need).

This is the same editor, but I am very bad in JS and JQuery so I’m not able to implement this into my project :frowning:

Hey Thomas!
Thanks! There is an example Project:
Look here

But it’s written in old RealBasic - it seems, that the xojo 4.1 couldn’t work with it.

The code to get the HTML-Source of the Editor is following:

  Dim JS As String = ""
  
  JS = JS + "RS.controls['"+ EditHTML.ControlID +"'].field().value=cki['"+EditHTML.ControlID+"'].getData();"
  JS = JS + "markControlChanged( RS.controls['"+ EditHTML.ControlID +"'] );"
  JS = JS + "RS.comm.triggerEvent('"+EditHTML.ControlID+"','TextChanged');"
  
  ExecuteJavaScript( JS )

But if I execute this, occurs the following exception:

Could not execute returned javascript: Cannot read property 'JUeXJDDd' of undefined Source: RS.controls['JUeXJDDd'].field().value=cki['JUeXJDDd'].getData();markControlChanged( RS.controls['JUeXJDDd'] );RS.comm.triggerEvent('JUeXJDDd','TextChanged');

I am so bad in JS, I am helpless without you guys!

Thanks!!!

I had tested some last year, including the Web Custom Controls, but the problem is that these editors are often poorly suited to tablets and smartphones: they load slowly, have a heavy interface, some features do not work etc.

If anyone knows a text editor that works well on iOS / Android, I am very interested!

14

JS = JS + "[b]Xojo[/b].controls['"+ EditHTML.ControlID +"'].field().value=cki['"+EditHTML.ControlID+"'].getData();" JS = JS + "markControlChanged( [b]Xojo[/b].controls['"+ EditHTML.ControlID +"'] );" JS = JS + "[b]Xojo[/b].comm.triggerEvent('"+EditHTML.ControlID+"','TextChanged');"

This is IT! :wink:

F**k, my todays postings are so §$&/&%/§$&%)(§

What i meant is, just rename every RS. to Xojo. in this code snippet and it’ll work.

16

yes, I did also changed this, but it doesn’t work!

Error:

[quote]Could not execute returned javascript: xojo is not defined
Source: xojo.controls[‘VdQekLYZ’].field().value=cki[‘VdQekLYZ’].getData();markControlChanged( xojo.controls[‘VdQekLYZ’] );xojo.comm.triggerEvent(‘VdQekLYZ’,‘TextChanged’);[/quote]

17

“xojo is not defined”…

18

Senseless… I have o write the “X” as a capital letter! I wrote “xojo” not “Xojo”!

Maaaan

But now: IT WORKS!!!
THANK YOU A LOT!!!

19

Keep in mind that calling directly into the Xojo JavaScript framework like this is not supported and our changes may break this in the future.

Fwiw, there is a wysiwyg HTML editor in the websdk example projects.

@Lars: Great! Long time since me newb could help some1 in here.

@Greg: Thanks for info. Is this one of the next steps in framework changes? Or is this a thing for my great-grandson to worry about?
