Thank You for your kindness, patience & help.

Please Assist, I can't get it going: on the WebTextEdit Object (FG1010NItemD) - ClientSideEvent - MouseOver:

I tired inserting the following javascript within the  MouseOver property:

FG1010NItemD.Element.style.backgroundColor = '#F0F5F7';

oEdit.FG1010NItemD.style.backgroundColor = '#F0F5F7';

oEdit.Element.style.backgroundColor = '#F0F5F7';

Aplogies for being a nuisance but please assist as I don't really know how to do this.

Please Assist!

Hi, I'm coding in an application that uses VBscripting code, I can only uses javascript in it's Clientside Properties.

On this application I have to use vbscripting, how do I get this do be done in vbscript or execute the javascript within the vbscript window? 

Thank You

Hi,

WebTextEdit and all other Infragistics controls support only javascript client side events.

If you have problems with manual writing <script> blocks, then try following:

1. Open aspx in Design view
2. Right mouse click on WebTextEdit and select Properties
3. Find ClientSideEvents, select event which you are interested in and click drop-down button which should appear for that property
4. In drop-down list select "Add new handler..."
5. In dialog which should appear, you may modify name of your handler or keep default value
6. Click OK
7. Designer should switch to Source view and point you to the content of that function.
8. To test/debug/implement that function you may start with typing-in something simple like
  alert("my handler");
9. Run page and confirm that alert appears on that event.
10. Do your implementation. To check if it is executed without exceptions you may put alert("#") after every statement and validate that all alerts are fired. You also insert debugger; statement at any point in you codes and verify flow of logic.

Thank You all, I could not tecute the javascript within an vbscript window - so I don't know aspx nor xslt.

I just wanted the Webtextedit - to change backround color when no value was found. Thats why i thought of executing in the submit (vbscript) code or invalidvalue method. 

 Thank You

How do I get the client side events to work with a webtextedit control in a UserControl? I have this code.

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="MultiLineTextEditWithCharacterCount.ascx.cs" Inherits="CharityCheck.MultiLineTextEditWithCharacterCount" %>
<%@ Register tagprefix="ig" namespace="Infragistics.Web.UI.EditorControls" Assembly="Infragistics35.Web.v9.2, Version=9.2.20092.2056, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7dd5c3163f2cd0cb" %>

<ig:WebTextEditor ID="webTextEditor1" runat="server"
                  BorderWidth="1px" BorderColor="#898989"
                  Width="480px" Height="90px"
                  TextMode="MultiLine">
    </ig:WebTextEditor>
<br />
<asp:PlaceHolder ID="PlaceHolder1" runat="server"></asp:PlaceHolder>

I then do this in the Page_Load method of the UserControl based class:

                scriptText = "<script type=\"text/javascript\" id=\"igClientScript\">\n" +
                             "    function keyPressInEdit(oEdit, keyCode, oEvent) {\n" +
                             "        var text = oEdit.get_value();\n" +
                             "        var ar = text.split(' ')\n" +
                             "        if (ar.length >= " + this.MaxWordCount + ")\n" +
                             "            oEvent.cancel = true;\n" +
                             "    }\n" +
                             "</script>\n";

                Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this.GetType(), "keyPressInEdit", scriptText);
                webTextEditor1.Attributes.Add("onkeypress", "keyPressInEdit(oEdit, keyCode, oEvent)");

When I run the page with the UserControl in it and type a character in the webtexteditor, the debugger stops in the javacode at the keyPressInEdit method saying the oEdit is undefined. keyCode and oEvent are also undefined. What do I have to do to make this work

Hi David,

I think your codes will have same exception without user control. To process client events the ClientSideEvents property should be used, but not attributes or similar explicit handlers. It is ok to register handler using Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock if you need dynamic content.

webTextEditor1.ClientSideEvents.KeyDown = "keyPressInEditor"

Thanks for your reply.

I will try this.

Hi AniLex,

I assume that you ask about image on custom button used by WebTextEditor.

There is no public option to modify image/css of buttons on client. However, javascript object of editor stores all data related to buttons in internal variable _buttons. You may use debugger to find these and other options. Below is example of codes, which changes image of custom button.
Note: any side effects of usage internal variables are not supported.

<script type="text/javascript">
function changeImg()
{
  var editor = $find('<%=WebTextEditor1.ClientID%>');
  var buts = editor._buttons;
  // 0-upperspin button, 1-lowerspin button, 2-custom button
  var but2 = buts[2];
  if(!but2)
   return;
  var imgElem = but2.imgE, images = but2.img, state = but2._state;
  //debugger;
  //alert('currentImg:' + imgElem.src + '\ncurrentState:' + state + '\nstateImages:' + images);
  var imageNormal = './images/butImg.gif', imageHover = './images/butImgHover.gif';
  var imagePressed = './images/butImgPress.gif', imageDisabled = './images/butImgDis.gif';
  but2.img = [imageNormal, imageHover, imagePressed, imageDisabled];
  imgElem.src = imageNormal;
  //or better
  //imgElem.src = but2.img[state];
}
</script>

   <input type="button" value="changeImg" onclick="changeImg()" />
   <ig:WebTextEditor ID="WebTextEditor1" runat="server">
         <Buttons CustomButtonDisplay="OnRight"></Buttons>
  </ig:WebTextEditor>
 

How to change the image of WebTextEditControl from javasript?

Thanks,

Hi Jorge,

All 3 your emails passed through.

The events on client are based on dot-net ajax framework which supports only 2 params (they mimic corresponding model on server). The 1st param is reference to owner/sender (WebTextEditor) and second param is eventArgs. In case of TextChanged event it is instance of Infragistics.Web.UI.TextEditorTextChangedEventArgs class. It has 2 methods (they are considered "properties" by dot-net-ajax rules): get_text() and get_oldText().

To learn available features on client model, I suggest you to look at docs or you may find them directly in debugger. Under IE the debugger window will show you all members of an object. So, you may insert "debugger;" line in your handler and check methods of second param.

Hi Viktor

  I was wondering how could I get the old text from the event TextChanged from the AJAX component "WebTextEditor" that only has two parameter (sender, e). I want to do something similar to the non ajax component WebTextEdit that provides a parameter with the old value.

  I have been trying to ask this twice, but the for some reason the forum is not working properly with mozilla 3.6.2. Hope you get this one from IE  :)

Many Thanks

Jorge from ANS
