I need to add text to the  current cursor position in the texteditor (radeditor)... can someony give me a hint? In the Telerik Documentation is an example using the pasteHtml method, but i don't know how to get the clientid of the radeditor....

Thanks

Andi

So does that mean this isn't possible? I am needing this same exact thing. I have a DopDownList with values and a button underneath that. When the user clocks the button, I need the selected value to be "inserted" at the current cursor position.

Anyone??

So, after spending several hours scouring the internet and testing all sorts of JavaScript code, I finally got it to work. I am posting my findings here so that others who need the same knowledge can find it. When using the DNN implementation of the RADEditor, one must realize (which I didn’t at first) that when later referencing the RAD Editor, you are in-fact referencing DNN’s wrapper control, not the actual RAD Editor directly. It wasn’t until I remembered/realized this, that I was able to make progress on getting the JavaScript to work. After looking into DNN’s source code on how they implemented their RADEditor, I saw that they gave it a double ID...meaning that when the control was finally rendered into HTML, the actual RADEditor control, used the parents control name twice. For example, if you named your editor “txtMyEditor”, then after rendering it would be "dnn_ctr###_PageName_txtMyEditor_txtMyEditor" (replace ### with your Module control’s number). Referencing just "dnn_ctr###_PageName_txtMyEditor" will get you a reference to the DNNEditor implementation (AKA The Wrapper Class), but not the actual RADEditor itself.

In my searching, I found that the Telerik RADEditor control actually exposes a method that allows you to insert code at the cursors position, it’s called “pasteHtml()”. So, without further ado, here is the JavaScript code I wrote. You could of course tweak it to suit your individual needs.



function js_InsertText(p_strPageID) {
//***************************************
// Initialize Variables
//***************************************
var cboAdvancedSettings_Tokens = document.getElementById(p_strPageID + '_' + 'cboAdvancedSettings_Tokens');
var strRADEditorControlID = 'txtAdvancedSettings_TemplateText';
var strTextToInsert = cboAdvancedSettings_Tokens.options[cboAdvancedSettings_Tokens.selectedIndex].value;

//***************************************
// Insert Text
//***************************************
var editor = $find(p_strPageID + "_" + strRADEditorControlID + "_" + strRADEditorControlID);
editor.pasteHtml(strTextToInsert);
}

 

I hope this helps others out there!
