Rich Html Editing

Web Connection comes with two Rich Edit Controls: wwWebHtmlEditor and wwWebFckEditor. The first is a very simple control that is fully self contained, and just relies on a few images. It only works with Internet Explorer. The wwWebFckEditor control works with the popular open-source FCK Editor which requires downloading and installation for your Web site/application. FCK is a more complete solution and provides much richer editing support and works with IE and Mozilla browsers.

Both controls support basic WYSIWYG editing using the handful of tool options above. You can also cut and paste and drag and drop any Html from another Web page directly into this editbox. You can drag images into the control and then click on the image icon to edit image properties. Both are ideal for pasting text from other applications either in HTML or RTF format.

This form also demonstrates databinding to controls once again, and the wwWebRepeater control on the right side of the page. The repeater allows you to build a repeatable list with an item template that can contain Html, Controls and expressions which is very powerful to display list data that doesn't fit a typical Grid format. The big advantage of this control is that you can build composite cells in the script code that can contain complex Html, and then have the repeater iterate over the cursor or array to provide the data to embed into the repeater.
