Description
To delete all comments and accept all changes programmatically in RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX, you can use either of the following approaches:
Solution
Approach 1: Using Regular Expressions
This approach involves manually parsing and manipulating the HTML content using regular expressions. Here's how you can adapt your existing CleanContent function:
private string CleanContent(string content)
{
if (content != null && content != "")
{
// Define a regular expression to match span or font tags with the 'reComment' class
Regex regex = new Regex("<(span|font)[^>]*class=[\"']reComment[\\s\\w]*[\"'][^>]*>", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
// Use the regular expression to replace the matched elements with just the opening tag
content = regex.Replace(content, "<$1>");
// Assign the modified HTML content back to RadEditor
RadEditor1.Content = content;
// Accept all track changes
RadEditor1.AcceptTrackChanges();
// Return the modified content
return RadEditor1.Content;
}
else
{
return content;
}
}
Private Function CleanContent(content As String) As String
If content IsNot Nothing AndAlso Not content = "" Then
' Define a regular expression to match span or font tags with the 'reComment' class
Dim regex As New Regex("<(span|font)[^>]*class=[""']reComment[\s\w]*[""'][^>]*>", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase)
' Use the regular expression to replace the matched elements with just the opening tag
content = regex.Replace(content, "<$1>")
' Assign the modified HTML content back to RadEditor
RadEditor1.Content = content
' Accept all track changes
RadEditor1.AcceptTrackChanges()
' Return the modified content
Return RadEditor1.Content
Else
Return content
End If
End Function
Approach 2: Utilizing RadEditor's Built-in Functionality
This solution leverages the GetHtml method of RadEditor with specific EditorStripHtmlOptions. Here's how you can implement this in your code:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Accept the track changes
RadEditor1.AcceptTrackChanges();
// Strip the comments
string htmlResult = RadEditor1.GetHtml(EditorStripHtmlOptions.Comments);
// Set the content of RadEditor1
RadEditor1.Content = htmlResult;
}
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
' Accept the track changes
RadEditor1.AcceptTrackChanges()
' Strip the comments
Dim htmlResult As String = RadEditor1.GetHtml(EditorStripHtmlOptions.Comments)
' Set the content of RadEditor1
RadEditor1.Content = htmlResult
End Sub
These approaches will allow you to programmatically delete all comments and accept all changes in RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX.
Notes
- Make sure to replace
RadEditor1with the actual ID of your RadEditor instance. - Approach 1 provides more control over the process and can be used if your version of RadEditor doesn't support the needed functionality through its API.
- Approach 2 is more straightforward and stable as it relies on the RadEditor's built-in functionality.
- Test the code thoroughly to ensure it meets your requirements.
