Can I use slider for font size plugin in TinyMCE editor - tinymce

Question

I am using TinyMCE plugin. Currently, my font-size option comes with list dropdown but I want slider for font size.
Is this possible with the TinyMCE. Anyone know how can I achieve this with TinyMCE editor?

TinyMCE does not have a built in way to select font size via a "slider". As TinyMCE is open source you can always modify the editor's code to meet your needs.
If you look in the main tinymce.js file you will find code like this:
editor.addButton('fontsizeselect', function() {
var items = [], defaultFontsizeFormats = '8pt 10pt 12pt 14pt 18pt 24pt 36pt';
var fontsize_formats = editor.settings.fontsize_formats || defaultFontsizeFormats;
each(fontsize_formats.split(' '), function(item) {
var text = item, value = item;
// Allow text=value font sizes.
var values = item.split('=');
if (values.length > 1) {
text = values[0];
value = values[1];
}
items.push({text: text, value: value});
});
return {
type: 'listbox',
text: 'Font Sizes',
tooltip: 'Font Sizes',
values: items,
fixedWidth: true,
onPostRender: createListBoxChangeHandler(items, 'fontsize'),
onclick: function(e) {
if (e.control.settings.value) {
editor.execCommand('FontSize', false, e.control.settings.value);
}
}
};
});
This is how the current select list is implemented - you can always replace this with logic to implement font selection in a different manner.
