Two new features of the DevExpress ASP.NET HTML Editor control now help your end-users with pasting and inserting media content. The features are part of the v14.2 release:
- Media Content Inserting
- Clipboard Pasting Processing
Media Content Inserting
The DevExpress ASP.NET HTML Editor allows you to insert different types of media content using its built-in toolbar buttons, dialogs, and media file selectors. The following media types are supported:
- Video
- Audio
- Flash
- YouTube video
To enable these features, activate the corresponding Enabled options in the editor's SettingsFlashSelector, SettingsVideoSelector, and SettingsAudioSelector settings.
Clipboard Pasting Processing
The DevExpress ASP.NET HTML Editor allows you to apply different formatting for the pasted HTML content. You may use one of three default modes provided with the PasteMode property:
- SourceFormatting: Formatting of pasted content is retained.
- MergeFormatting: Formatting of pasted content is mostly discarded. However, emphasis formatting, such as bold and italic text, is retained.
- PlainText: Formatting of pasted content and non-text elements (such as pictures or tables) is discarded.
End-users can select one of these modes on the fly using buttons that appear in the top-right corner of the editor. To enable this functionality, set the EnablePasteOptions property to true:
And the DevExpress ASP.NET HTML Editor provides a special client-side BeforePaste event that allows you to easily customize formatting behavior.
