'Document readers' are classes used for document's content reading to import it into the editing document.
The documents import is available via the toolbar's
button. The class names of these readers can be used in the
DocumentReaders
property of the
Obout.Ajax.UI.HTMLEditor.Popups.ImportDocumentPopup class.
'Document readers' classes should implement
Obout.Ajax.UI.HTMLEditor.IDocumentReader interface.
This interface describes one method only:
/// <summary>
/// Read the document's content
/// </summary>
/// <param name="path">Path of the file to be read</param>
/// <param name="alertMessage">Message to be alerted on document import (usually to indicate an error)</param>
/// <returns>HTML content of the document to be imported</returns>
string GetHtml(string path, out string alertMessage);
The
Obout.Ajax.UI.dll contains the following predefined classes that implement this interface:
-
Obout.Ajax.UI.HTMLEditor.TxtReader - reads content of usual text files (txt).
-
Obout.Ajax.UI.HTMLEditor.HtmlReader - reads content of HTML files (html).
The default value of the
DocumentReaders
property in the
Obout.Ajax.UI.HTMLEditor.Popups.ImportDocumentPopup class is:
"txt:Obout.Ajax.UI.HTMLEditor.Popups.TxtReader;html:Obout.Ajax.UI.HTMLEditor.Popups.HtmlReader".
In the
App_Code/HTMLEditor/MsWordDocumentReader.cs file of the downloaded
Suite you can find
custom class for
MS Word documents reading.
Following this example, you can easily create a class to import other documents (e.g.
MS Excel).
