Disable Format Paragraph drop down in Editor

Hi.

Is it posible to disable the Format Paragraph drop down list in the editor? I have made a property that inherits from PropertyLongString. I have overriden the EditorToolOptions property and set it to return this:

public override EditorToolOption EditorToolOptions
{
    get { return EditorToolOption.Undo | EditorToolOption.Redo | EditorToolOption.SpellCheck | EditorToolOption.Refresh | EditorToolOption.Find; }
    set { base.EditorToolOptions = value; }
}

It works fine. I only get the EditorToolOptions that is specified, but I also get the Format Paragraph drop down. Why is this?!

I bellive that this line of code from PropertyLongStringControl is causing this:

protected virtual WebControl CreateHtmlEditor()
{
   editor.ContentCssFile = this.GetCssPaths();
}

I could make a own propertycontrol class that inherits from PropertyLongStringControl and override GetCssPaths, but does it have to be that diffucult?!

Br, Tore

It seems the FormatParagraph tool isn't configurable. I can't see any reason why it shouldn't be configurable like the other tools so I've filed a bug report.

Unfortunately I can't provide any information that solves your problem in an easy way.

Hi Stefan.

Thanks for your answer. I solved by overrideing the GetCssPaths method in the PropertyLongStringControl. I still get the "Remove formatting" option in the dropdown, but all the other options are removed

Here is the code if others have the same problem:

MyProperty.cs

[Serializable]
[PageDefinitionTypePlugIn]
public class MyProperty : PropertyLongString
{
public override IPropertyControl CreatePropertyControl()
{
return new MyPropertyControl();
}

public override EditorToolOption EditorToolOptions
{
get { return EditorToolOption.Undo | EditorToolOption.Redo | EditorToolOption.SpellCheck | EditorToolOption.Refresh | EditorToolOption.Find; }
set { base.EditorToolOptions = value; }
}
}

MyPropertyControl.cs

public class MyPropertyControl : PropertyLongStringControl
{
protected override string GetCssPaths()
{
return string.Empty;
}
}

Br, Tore
