In-place editor for the graph. To control this editor, use mxGraph.invokesStopCellEditing, mxGraph.enterStopsCellEditing and mxGraph.escapeEnabled. If mxGraph.enterStopsCellEditing is true then ctrl-enter or shift-enter can be used to create a linefeed. The F2 and escape keys can always be used to stop editing. To customize the location of the textbox in the graph, override getEditorBounds as follows:
graph.cellEditor.getEditorBounds = function(state) { var result = mxCellEditor.prototype.getEditorBounds.apply(this, arguments); if (this.graph.getModel().isEdge(state.cell)) { result.x = state.getCenterX() - result.width / 2; result.y = state.getCenterY() - result.height / 2; } return result; };
The textarea uses the mxCellEditor CSS class. You can modify this class in your custom CSS. Note: You should modify the CSS after loading the client in the page.
To only allow numeric input in the in-place editor, use the following code.
var text = graph.cellEditor.textarea; mxEvent.addListener(text, 'keydown', function (evt) { if (!(evt.keyCode >= 48 && evt.keyCode <= 57) && !(evt.keyCode >= 96 && evt.keyCode <= 105)) { mxEvent.consume(evt); } });
To implement a placeholder for cells without a label, use the emptyLabelText variable.
Resize of the textarea is disabled by default. If you want to enable this feature extend init and set this.textarea.style.resize = ‘’.
To start editing on a key press event, the container of the graph should have focus or a focusable parent should be used to add the key press handler as follows.
mxEvent.addListener(graph.container, 'keypress', mxUtils.bind(this, function(evt) { if (!graph.isEditing() && !graph.isSelectionEmpty() && evt.which !== 0 && !mxEvent.isAltDown(evt) && !mxEvent.isControlDown(evt) && !mxEvent.isMetaDown(evt)) { graph.startEditing(); if (mxClient.IS_FF) { graph.cellEditor.textarea.value = String.fromCharCode(evt.which); } } }));
To allow focus for a DIV, and hence to receive key press events, some browsers require it to have a valid tabindex attribute. In this case the following code may be used to keep the container focused.
var graphFireMouseEvent = graph.fireMouseEvent; graph.fireMouseEvent = function(evtName, me, sender) { if (evtName == mxEvent.MOUSE_DOWN) { this.container.focus(); } graphFireMouseEvent.apply(this, arguments); };
