How to open the template-dialoge on startup?

For a project that gives the user limited choices I want to configure CKEditor to show the templates on start up. Is there a way to configure the editor in such a way or is it possible to open the dialoge with a js-command?

First you wait for the instanceReady event, and then use the execCommand to execute the command that you want ( == it launches that dialog)

I tried this ...

var ckeditor=CKEDITOR.replace( "editor1",
                     {       ...
                           on:{ instanceReady : function( ev )
                                 { 
                                   this.execCommand('templates');
                                 }
                                                                 ...
                             },

...and it works! Thanks!

Thanks for the reply.
Very helpful.
The example you sent pops up the template chooser on page load.
I was wondering though, if it's possible to not even have to choose a template in the first place - just have the template load.
I'm assuming the execCommand() method can do this...
I'm just not sure of the parameter to put in to make it happen.
I've looked all over the documentation and haven't really found it.

Thanks for your help so far.

I want the dialog displayed when you click on the textarea.

How do I do?

Thank you very much.
