Adding the Control to the View

  1. Find the Index.cshtml file in the Views -> Home folder. Replace the complete content with the following code to add the document editor to the view:

    @using TXTextControl.Web.MVC
    @{
    var sDocument = "<html><body><p>Welcome to <strong>Text Control</strong></p></body></html>";
    }
    @Html.TXTextControl().TextControl(settings => {
    settings.UserNames = new string[] { "Tim Typer" };
    }).LoadText(sDocument, TXTextControl.Web.StringStreamType.HTMLFormat).Render()
    <input type="button" onclick="insertTable()" value="Insert Table" />
    <script>
    function insertTable() {
    TXTextControl.tables.add(5, 5, 10, function(e) {
    if (e === true) { // if added
    TXTextControl.tables.getItem(function(table) {
    table.cells.forEach(function(cell) {
    cell.setText("Cell text");
    });
    }, null, 10);
    }
    })
    }
    </script>
