End;

Remove menu items:

There is also this method for easier creation of custom buttons and items outside the editor and its integration into existing Oracle Forms applications:

public void executeHTMLEditorActionCommand (String actionCommand) - this allows to simulate button clicks and this way can be used to create your own buttons in the host application as they were editor's toolbar buttons. Here below is the list with commands which can be used:
 

in Oracle Forms to be used like this:

BEGIN
   CLEAR_CURRENT_DOCUMENT;
   hArgs := FBEAN.CREATE_ARGLIST;
   FBEAN.ADD_ARG(hArgs,'file-save');
END   fbean.Invoke(bean,1,'executeHTMLEditorActionCommand',hArgs);

You can customize the editor's appearance also by using the various properties - you can see detailed examples here below:

To set various properties like singleParagraphSpacing, flowToolbarLayout or restrictedFontList, defaultInitialFont, defaultInitialFontSize see the example:

Declare
vString1 varchar2(32000);
Begin
FBean.Set_Property('HTMLEDITOR_AREA', 1,'singleParagraphSpacing', 'true');
FBean.set_property('HTMLEDITOR_AREA', 1,'flowToolbarLayout','true');
FBean.set_property('HTMLEDITOR_AREA', 1,'restrictedFontList','Arial, Verdana');
FBean.set_property('HTMLEDITOR_AREA', 1,'defaultInitialFont','Arial');
FBean.set_property('HTMLEDITOR_AREA', 1,'defaultInitialFontSize', '10');
End;

To set the focus outside the editor

Declare

Begin
FBean.Set_Property( 'HTMLEDITOR_AREA', 1, 'transferFocusOutside', 'true');
End;



To set the focus inside the editor

Declare

Begin
FBean.Set_Property( 'HTMLEDITOR_AREA', 1, 'transferFocusInside', 'true');
End;


To disable the editor you can use the following property:

Declare
Begin

FBean.set_property('HTMLEDITOR_AREA',1,'enabled','false');

End;

To enable the editor you can use the following property:

Declare

Begin

FBean.set_property('HTMLEDITOR_AREA',1,'enabled','true');
End;

To verify if the document has been edited:

Declare
vEdited boolean;
Begin

vEdited := FBean.Get_Bool_Property('HTMLEDITOR_AREA',1,'documentEdited');
if vEdited then
:block3.TEXT_AREA := 'documentEdited=true';
else
:block3.TEXT_AREA := 'documentEdited=false';
end if;

End;
