Exploring the Properties of the HTML Editor Field Control
I was trying to figure out the easiest way to hide/show buttons on the HTML Editor Field Control.
Strangely, there's some documentation on the topic but it doesn't go into the details about the buttons.
I thought I'd write about the results of my little experiment. The following tabulates the buttons that get activated/deactivated when specific properties are turned on/off.
Property | Value | Buttons Activated |
(Default) |
| |
AllowFonts DisableBasicFormattingButtons | True False |
|
Allow Headings | True |
|
AllowHtmlSourceEditing | True | Edit HTML Source |
Allow Hyperlinks AllowExternalUrls | True True |
|
Allow Hyperlinks AllowExternalUrls | True False |
|
AllowImages | True |
|
Allow Lists | True |
|
AllowReusableContent | True |
|
AllowTables | True |
|
AllowTextMarkup DisableBasicFormattingButtons | True True |
|
AllowTextMarkup DisableBasicFormattingButtons | True False |
|
DisableCustomStyles | False |
|
There's an additional property, DisableBasicFormattingButtons, which as the name suggests, disables basic formatting buttons. And these are the buttons it considers "basic:
Property | Value | Buttons Deactivated |
DisableBasicFormattingButtons | False |
|

Thanks, Mei Ying. I think you may have saved us a shedload of work!
Thank you for article :)
Any idea how to change the 'Enter Mode'? By this I mean the control uses paragraph tags by default, would be neat to change this to be a line break, br tag.
Thanks!
