The following are some of the main features of Editor for ASP.NET Web Forms that you may find useful:
- Microsoft Office Ribbon-style UI
Editor implements the Microsoft Office-style Ribbon interface. The Ribbon organizes related commands under a series of tabs, enabling users to easily explore the editor's functions without forcing them to navigate through a hierarchy of menus.
- Built-in Spell Checker
Spell-checking functionality provided by the built-in spell checker: with just a click of the spell-check button, end users have as-you-type spell checking just like Microsoft Word (complete with red, wavy underlines and spelling suggestions on context menus) at their fingertips.
- Customize Spell Checker
Spell-checking functionality provided by the built-in spell checker can be customized using the SpellChecker.IgnoreOptions property. This property helps you to specify flags which will determine whether the words should be ignored during spell checking.
- Set of Toolbars to Choose From
Customize the editor to show only the toolbars that you need: choose from Common, EditorMode, Formatting, HTMLElements, Style, and TableEditing toolbars.
- Dockable and Floating Toolbars
Dockable and floating toolbars give the end user the option to work more closely with a specific toolbar - simply select the toolbar from its docked panel area and drag it onto the text window area.
- Multi-language Support
The integrated spell checker supports multiple languages including: English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish.
- Built-in Visual Styles
With just a click of the SmartTag, change the editor's visual style by selecting one of the 5 built-in visual styles that mimic those available in Microsoft Office 2007. Choose from Arctic Fox, Office Black, Office Blue, Office Silver, and Windows Vista.
- Advanced Formatting
The editor provides more advanced formatting features than the standard TextBox control. These include size, color, style, bold, italic, and so on. Additional advanced formatting includes: alignment, indentation, bullets list, and more.
- Cross-browser Compatibility
The editor supports multiple browsers, including Internet Explorer 6.0 and higher, Fire Fox 2.0 and higher, and Safari 2.0 and higher.
- Customizeable Dictionary Files
Create and maintain dictionary files (.dct) with the C1SpellChecker Dictionary Editor; add words to the main dictionary or create new dictionaries.
- Design-time Customization
The properties builder allows for easy customization - modify the appearance and behavior of the C1Editor without writing any code.
- Context-sensitive Menu
Quickly cut, copy, or paste text using the right-click context menu support. Click inside a table and experience additional context menu support - insert a row, delete a column, split a cell, and more.
- Clipboard Support
Enhancing the user experience, the editor provides keyboard shortcuts to quickly edit text; for example, to copy text use the CTRL+C key combination.
- Path Selector to Choose Document Object Model Node
The path selector shows the HTML tag hierarchy at the current cursor position. Select a tag within the path selector to alter the scope of the selection. For example, click the <body> element in the path selector to select all of the nodes in the editor.
- CSS Support
Use a cascading style sheet (CSS) style to define custom skins. CSS support allows you to match the editor to your organization's standards.
