Property Value

Type	Default	Description
String	String.Empty	A String property that is the name of a command or custom dialog.

Remarks

When a shortcut is pressed, an action specified via its HtmlEditorShortcut.ActionType property is executed.

• if the HtmlEditorShortcut.ActionType property is set to ExecuteCommand, the ActionName property specifies the name of an executed command;
• if the HtmlEditorShortcut.ActionType property is set to ShowCustomDialog, the ActionName property specifies the name of the displayed custom dialog (the HtmlEditorCustomDialog.Name property value of the corresponding dialog).

See the Keyboard Shortcuts topic for more information.

Example

ASPxHtmlEditor allows you to provide custom toolbar buttons and modify the functionality of default buttons.

In this example, two custom buttons and corresponding shortcuts are created: Clear and Add Signature. When a button is clicked or shortcut is pressed, the ASPxClientHtmlEditor.CustomCommand event is triggered. In the event handler, the default select all and delete commands are executed using the ASPxClientHtmlEditor.ExecuteCommand method.

Additionally, we have modified the functionality of the default insert ordered list command. In the ASPxClientHtmlEditor.CommandExecuted event handler, which is triggered after the command is processed, we change the type of ordered list markers to Roman numerals.
