Features

Show All
  • 3 Edit Modes

    The C1Editor control features three editing modes: Design, Source, and Preview. You can determine which of these views your end-users will see initially by setting the C1Editor.Mode property.

  • Load and Save Documents

    Load Xhtml documents into C1Editor from a file, stream, or XML string. And likewise, you can save documents into a file or stream.

  • Flexible Data Binding

    Bind C1Editor to your external data source with ease. The Text and Xml properties are marked as "Bindable" so you can easily bind either the unformatted text or the full HTML markup to your data source.

  • Insert and Manipulate Pictures, Tables, Objects

    Insert and manipulate various types of objects in the document including tables, images, hyperlinks and multi-media Flash files. The dialog boxes allow you to modify all properties of the inserted or edited objects. With mouse actions, move and resize objects directly on the document in Design mode.

  • Define Custom CSS Styles

    C1Editor fully supports CSS in edited documents. In addition you can specify external CSS rules in CSS files which will be used only in Design or Preview mode. DesignCSS and PreviewCSS methods support this feature by loading CSS from a file or stream.

  • Synchronize XMLDocuments “On the fly”

    Bind the C1Editor control to a document specified in the C1Editor. Document property. If the document is edited within the C1Editor, the underlying XmlDocument syncs to match it. If the XmlDocument changes in code, these changes are visible in the C1Editor control at run time.

  • Set Font and Text Properties

    Easily set font, text decorations, and block formatting settings to a text block in the document without worrying about modifying the underlying XmlDocument. C1Editor automatically builds the markup for these operations and modifies the XmlDocument. There is also a built-in text formatting dialog where end-users can set text properties.

  • Add Custom Tags in DTD

    Advanced programming tasks sometimes require the use of additional DTD elements in the edited document. You can add the tags in the document by specifying them in the XmlExtensions property.

  • Spell-check Documents

    C1Editor comes with C1SpellChecker built-in so you can use all of its spell-checking features such as dialog mode, “as-you-type” mode, context menu spelling suggestions, and the auto-replace feature.

  • Code Clean-up Routines

    C1Editor can automatically remove empty tags, close unclosed tags, and otherwise improve messy or unreadable HTML markup. Clean-up routines occur on document loading, switching off Source mode, or on executing the ValidateSource or FixSource methods.

  • Easily Access and Manage Data

    Access and manage data from code selections and the caret position. Access content in the C1Editor by specifying a range of characters to select and access content based upon the caret position.

  • Preview and Print

    Calling the Print method has the same effect as choosing Print from the Windows Internet Explorer File menu. The print method can activate the Print dialog box, prompting the user to change print settings. The PrintPreview method lets you see the web page before you print so you can avoid printing mistakes.

  • Enable Clipboard Actions

    Select text, tables, or graphics and then use the Cut or Copy methods of C1Editor to move your selection to the clipboard. You can also paste outside HTML into C1Editor. There is a PasteAsText method that automatically formats HTML text to plain text when pasting. You can specify which of these actions are enabled by end-users with the CanCut, CanCopy, CanPaste and CanPasteAsText properties.

  • Unlimited History of Changes

    C1Editor has an unlimited undo history mechanism. You can programmatically access the editing history by calling the Undo or Redo methods. Undo and Redo also support keyboard shortcuts. By undoing repeatedly, end-users can gradually work back to fix a mistake.

  • Find/Replace Dialog Box

    C1Editor has a built-in dialog box that allows end-users to specify a string to search for as well as options to replace the word. You can create and use your own find/replace dialog box specifying it in the CustomDialogs property of the C1Editor.
