Edit Method

In This Topic

Description

Enables HTML5 Editor.

Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Sub Edit()

Remarks

There are some best practices when using WebKitX as an HTML5 Editor:

Disabling JavaScript download

Disabling scripts downloading is advisable when using WebKitX as an Editor because JavaScript execution often messes with HTML5 styles, especially if you are using features such as Parallax Scrolling and JavaScript-aided responsive layouts.

Detecting Edit Mode from JavaScript

There are cases where your JavaScript code might need to detect if WebKitX is in Edit mode. To do that simply read window.__WEBKITX_EDITABLE__ variable. You should wrap Google Analytics and Google Tags Manager initialization code inside a conditional block and download Google scripts (or any other script) by URL, as illustrated below:

Example

Example (Visual Basic)
Example (C#)

Private Sub WebKitX1_OnLoadEnd()
    
    On Error Resume Next
    
    AddLog "WebKitX1_OnLoadEnd: " + WebKitX1.URL
    
    ' Control Edit or Preview
    If mnuEditable.Checked Then
        WebKitX1.Edit
        WebKitX1.Modified = False
    Else
        WebKitX1.Preview
    End If
        
End Sub

private void WebKitXCEF31_OnLoadEnd(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    AddLog("WebKitX1_OnLoadEnd: " + WebKitXCEF31.URL);

    if (menuItemEnableHTMLEditing.Checked)
    {
        WebKitXCEF31.Edit();
        WebKitXCEF31.Modified = false;
    }
    else
    {
        WebKitXCEF31.Preview();
    }
}
