X15 Sneak Peek: Upcoming JavaScript API Improvements in the HTML5-based Editor for ASP.NET MVC and Web Forms
In version X15, we will provide many improvements and new features in the JavaScript API of the HTML5-based Editor for ASP.NET.
We are working on many improvements of the JavaScript API to manipulate documents client-side using the HTML5-based editor for ASP.NET MVC and Web Forms.
Clipboard
In version X15 of TX Text Control, it will be possible to switch between the two different clipboards using a toggle button or the JavaScript API. In case, the local clipboard is activated, an HTML form element is simulated and content can be pasted into the control and copied from the control to the local clipboard.
| Property | Value Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| TXTextControl.clipboardMode | integer | Gets or sets the clipboard mode (client or server). The clipboard mode determines if the key combinations Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V and Ctrl+X copy to and from the client clipboard or if content is copied to and from the server clipboard. Possible values for this property are defined in class TXTextControl.ClipboardMode. |
| Event | Value Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| clipboardModeChanged | ClipboardModeChangedEventArgs | Is fired when the clipboard mode has changed. |
| clipboardDataTransferStart | clipboardDataTransferStartEventArgs | Is fired when a clipboard data transfer starts. |
| clipboardDataTransferProgress | clipboardDataTransferProgressEventArgs | Is fired for each transfered clipboard data packet. |
| clipboardDataTransferComplete | clipboardDataTransferCompleteEventArgs | Is fired when a clipboard data transfer is completed. |
