Use editor in native applications; not just browsers

This is already possible (and people does use it), but you have to be able to embed a browser in your application. Without it, there's no chance at all for FCKeditor to work

Sorry, but I don't keep track of everything that it's posted.

You should be able to find it using some searchs, but if you know how to embed a web browser and control it then its a quite easy task. On the other hand, if you don't know how to do it, it can be quite hard, but that's something outside the capabilities of FCKeditor.

FCKeditor is always a web application, which runs in a browser. So, it is certainly possible to embed it in desktop applications, as long as you are able to embed a browser in that application.

We have never coded with thing, but I've just found this one on the net:

If your interested in using the FCK editor in desktop application, have a look at Adobe Air.

I am working on an Adobe AIR application using FCKeditor. It works pretty well, but Adobe is way behind in terms of the core browser, so FCKeditor is hobbled a little bit. Issues with style pulldowns, etc.

Currently, Safari on Windows uses WebKit version 523.something, but Adobe AIR still has version 420. Come on, Adobe!

I did enjoy that!

(Not being too familiar with your ticketing system, I couldn't tell for sure if compatibility comes in part from your floating_dialog branch in development, but I think that's the case, and that's a good thing, as popups are problematic in AIR. Yeehaw!)

The following is a temporary link with FCKeditor (trunk) with that patch applied:

You can test it with the sample application at _samples/adobeair.

Please add your comments to the ticket, if you find anything wrong there.

Enjoy it!

Thank you. This new beta ZIP release is looking good!

For those just starting with FCKeditor in AIR, there is one thing that still doesn't work in AIR under this latest, very promising release: "Browse Server" for links and images. This is the same old problem, because AIR and popups don't get along. I've been playing around with ways to disable that button so users won't even click on it.

There's a problem with the Link-->Protocol pulldown, too. I'll post that in your ticket.

You can remove the browse server button by changing the config file:

FCKConfig.LinkBrowser = false ;
FCKConfig.ImageBrowser = false ;
FCKConfig.FlashBrowser = false ;

The problem about "<other>" can be worked around by changing that entry in the en.js

Please, keep on testing it. Thanks.

you can use fckeditor in other applications i used it in C# desktop application. make a hierarchy of pages and in
editor.html file add javascript function those u want , and call them from C# end.
