Remarks

The ASPxHtmlEditor control provides the Custom CSS feature, that enables end-user custom formatting, defined by custom css classes, to be exposed to end-users and applied to the content selected within the editor. Within the editor’s toolbars this feature is implemented by the Apply CSS button. Clicking this button opens a drop down window with custom, predefined paragraph styles.

In order to specify css files that contain definitions of custom css classes, the ASPxHtmlEditor.CssFiles property of the ASPxHtmlEditor can be used. The editor’s items can be manipulated via the editor’s HtmlEditorToolbar.Items property. The display text of an editor item can be defined using the item’s ToolbarCustomCssEdit.Text property. An item’s ToolbarCustomCssListEditItem.CssClass and ToolbarCustomCssListEditItem.TagName properties are used to associate the item with the corresponding css class name, which defines a specific formatting, and specify the name of a tag to wrap the text content to which the associated style will be applied.

You can add the Apply CSS button to toolbars by using either the ASPxHtmlEditor designer at design time, or programmatically.
