I'm using custom toolbar for ckeditor5 and need any method to programmatically clear selection in editor area.
Is any method of clearing selection in ckeditor5 (using js code) and leave cursor position at the same place where it was?
As show in this image. This effect only occurs when hovering on clicking on the control.
Is there a way to have a button with text and graphic, with the graphic on the right side of the text, without having to owner-draw the button?
I want to just sent BM_SETIMAGE and whatever else would be needed so the graphic is to the right of the text.
Also, I noticed the image is so tight against the text that it doesn't look good. Is there a way to adjust the margin without having to use a blank space in the text?

There are BS_LEFTTEXT and BS_RIGHTBUTTON styles available, but the documentation says they only apply to CheckBoxes and RadioButtons:
Constant
Description
BS_LEFTTEXT
Places text on the left side of the radio button or check box when combined with a radio button or check box style. Same as the BS_RIGHTBUTTON style.
BS_RIGHTBUTTON
Positions a radio button's circle or a check box's square on the right side of the button rectangle. Same as the BS_LEFTTEXT style.
For a standard push button, there does not appear to be a way to control the position of the image other than through owner-drawing.

Use BCM_SETTEXTMARGIN/Button_SetTextMargin():
Sets the margins for drawing text in a button control.
I use CkEditor BalloonEditor:
BalloonEditor.create(document.querySelector('#editor'), { ...options... });
By design the balloon toolbar of CkEditor 5 is only shown when I mark some text in the editor. That's totally okay for standard text operations as making a text bold, italic or changing its colors.
But if I want to insert something (image, table, media) I first must type something, mark it, so that the toolbar is shown before I can insert new content. That is not practical. So actually the balloon editor is great for changing existing content, not to insert new content.
My idea now is, that I want to open the toolbar by clicking with the right mouse button, showing the toolbar instead of the browser's context menu. Nice would be if the toolbar then only contains actions to insert new content (as inserting image, table, media) and the actions for formatting content (as bold, italic, font color) disappears or at least are disabled.
So basically I would implement something like:
<div id="editor" oncontextmenu="showContextMenu(event)">
...
function showContextMenu(event) {
event.preventDefault();
// --> Open here the balloon toolbar at the current caret position. How?
}
I tried finding a solution with a hack:
When clicking with the right mouse button, I inserted a space character at the clicked position and marked/selected it automatically so that the CkEditor balloon editor opened the toolbar. That worked so far, but then I had this undesired space character in the document and I struggled to remove it gracefully afterwards. Furthermore the context menu also contained the text formatting actions (as bold, italic and so on, since there was text - the inserted space selected).
Another idea would be to develop an own toolbar completely detached from CkEditor and then using Commands to insert the appropriate commands as #denov has suggested in his solution. But I think this should actually be possible to achieve with the CkEditor API by using the class ContextualBalloon. But how?
Does anyone have any idea how to achieve this or can guide me with some directions?
Thx!
For images you can just drag the image into the editor.
Commands are the way to interact with the editor. The Images plugin uses the ImageInsertCommand
assuming you have the editor assigned to the global window object you could do
function showContextMenu(event) {
event.preventDefault();
window.editor.execute('imageInsert', { source: 'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8d/Frog_on_palm_frond.jpg'} )
}
Unfortunately, it's not possible to show the balloon toolbar if the selection is collapsed. This behaviour is defined here.
I have a view with a lot of UI buttons. I want some of the buttons to show and some to be hidden depending on my dynamic content. This can be done with button.isHidden = true. The problem is that the layout still set its constraints to the hidden buttons which create a lot of empty space.
You can see the empty space at the bottom in the picture where the buttons are hidden. So, is it possible to make the buttons "gone" instead of hidden? In Android Studio there is a isGone code (can't remember the exact code) that not only hides the button but removes the height and width of it as well.
