Hello,
 We are looking for HTML edit control (Winforms C#)  for our email system, using which users have to be able to create and edit HTML emails.
 So, could you pls answer on several questions.
1) Loading rather big HTML. It takes rather a lot of time even in "preview" mode. It is not loading in separate thread?
In "edit" mode -  that is clear that component has to load and render all HTML file before it will be possible to edit it,
But in "preview" mode, I have to get a response back quickly.
2) Using own toolbar. We are using DevExpress components for UI in our project. So, we have to be able to create a toolbar,and context menus for your control using DevExpress components.
   Is it possible and how?
3) Spell checker. Is it possible to use spell checker from DevExpress (xtraSpellChecker) ?
4)  Think that you have to create more samples how to use your control (better in C#) and add some more documentation, connected how to integrate your control in application.

Thanks in advance,
Konstantin

Hello Konstantin,

here are the responses:

1) It takes time to read the DOM and to write the content to preview window.

2) That is possible by using XML feature. See sample

3) No

4) The c# developers normally can read VB code but not vice versa. Therefore the sample is in VB. If you have questions furthers questions please let us know.

Regards,
Hans-Peter

Thanks for your quick response.
1) But  IE browser loading that HTML very quickly. Is "preview" mode different from common IE browser behaviour?
2) Ok, thanks
3) There is no way to use another one spell checker? Why don`t provide certain interfaces and events to be able use another one spell checker.
In our rather big software we already using DevExpress spell checker which is highly integrated with all editors components and also supports the things like "skins" and so on.
So, we don`t want to have another one spell checker :)
4) OK.
And some more questions:
5) We are trying to use Pintexx editor in our software as a editor for HTML emails. When user inserts a image into html, we have to add that image file to attachment list - NP.
Is there a way to handle a event when user deleted image from html? We have to handle such event to remove that image file from attachment list.
6) Is it possible to get editor source codes?

Thanks in advanced,
Konstantin

Hello,

1) Yes, it is different internally.
3) I'm sorry, no.
5) There is no event when an image is removed. But before saving you can use editor.document to access the DOM (Document Object modelll).
You can loop through all images and find out the source.
6) It would be possible but I'm not sure if it really makes sense. The editor is a huge control with thousands of line of script and .Net code. It would be easiert to tell us what you need and we try to implement it.
