1.2 What are Custom Buttons and Custom Dialogs and how can they be implemented?

Custom dialogs e.g. enable the interaction with server side applications such as databases, image repositories, etc. It is possible to override all standard edit-on Pro dialogs, namely:

 

 

* Opening and inserting HTML documents
* Inserting and editing hyperlinks and bookmarks
* Inserting and editing images
* Editing unknown tags
* Insert Table
* Table properties
* Row properties
* Column properties
* Cell properties
* Color Dialog
* Insert Span Dialog
* Insert Custom Tag Dialog

 


A documented API allows the implementation of custom dialogs. They can be implemented through own Java classes.

 

Custom buttons allow you  to create your own toolbar buttons/functionality to open e.g. a HTML page, execute a JavaScript function or a Java class, upload images to a Web server, etc. Custom tooltips can of course be defined for every custom or default toolbar button.

 

For details on how to create Custom Buttons and Custom Dialogs please review the edit-on Pro Integration Manual.

 

Samples for custom dialogs/custom buttons can be found within the edit-on Pro "CMS Demo", which is part of the sample package. There you will find following Custom Buttons/Dialogs:

 

Insert document link 1st button left beside the "i". This is a Custom Button that will bring up a Custom Dialog. Template picker 2nd button left beside the "i". Another Custom Button that will bring up a Custom Dialog. Image upload 3rd button left beside the "i". A Custom Button that will bring up a HTML page in the left frame. Insert image Left beside the "paper clip" icon. This is an edit-on Pro default button, but with a Custom Dialog
