Hi!
I'm thinking about embedding a texteditor with the following workflow:
- user clicks a link
- document/template opens (inside the RAP application!)
- user edits the document
- user can upload the document with a button
Of course there is a similar way to do this (download, edit, send back
as mail), but it would be nice to embed the whole process.
In SWT it is possible to embed OLE objects in a frame, but i suppose it
is not in RAP...
Currently i'm inspecting the FCKeditor (www.fckeditor.net), perhaps this
is an option.

Has anybody done something similar? Ot any ideas, how i can realize this?

Thanks!
Magnus

Hi again,

for OLE - see other thread :)

Regarding your use case I think this should go straight forward
depending on your data.

If you have data which is not stored in a proprietary file format (let's
say you have a HTML file) you could implement your own editor part with
RAP and have a custom control which holds the FCKEditor in it.

It seems that the qooxdoo people already did some work in that area, see
http://qooxdoo.org/documentation/0.7/snippets/using_fckedito r_as_a_rich_text_editor_in_qooxdoo.

Having this, you just need to read the stuff from the FCKEditor in your
LCA to give it back to the editor part which saves the content.

Normally you would use the StyledText widget for such tasks but this is
not yet implemented in RAP as it's a really big undertaking.

Hope that helps a little bit.
