RadEditor toolbars not working when use RadWindow as the container

[Olivier]

Hello

If you want reproduce the bug, you must to add a RadEditor in the RadWindow.
When you get the content of the radeditor1 with your javascript we have Two <br/>
And in the Radeditor2 we Have on <br/>
You can see to choose HTML view.

I don't attach files on the thread but i can you send by mail a webform test.aspx

You see the code html on follow.

<form id="form1" runat="server">
  <div>
      <asp:ScriptManager ID="Sc1" runat="server"></asp:ScriptManager>
      <telerik:RadWindow ID="RadWindow1" Width="1000" Height="800" OnClientShow="OnClientShow" runat="server" VisibleOnPageLoad="true">
          <ContentTemplate>
              <div id="editorWrapper" style="padding: 5px; display: none;">
                  RADEDITOR WITH JAVASCRIPT, See the HTML
                  <telerik:RadEditor ID="RadEditor1" runat="server" height="200px"></telerik:RadEditor>
              </div>
              RADEDITOR WITHOUT JAVASCRIPT, See the HTML
              <telerik:RadEditor ID="RadEditor2" runat="server" height="200px"></telerik:RadEditor>

              <asp:button runat="server" ID="btn_save" Text="save" onclick="btn_save_Click"/>

              <asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="TextBox1" Width="150px"></asp:TextBox>
              <asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="TextBox2" Width="150px"></asp:TextBox>
          </ContentTemplate>
      </telerik:RadWindow>

      <script type="text/javascript">
          function OnClientShow(sender, args) {
              // Fix the size problem in IE.
              var editorParent = $get('editorWrapper');
              editorParent.style.display = '';
              // Fixes the problem with the content area in FF and Safari
              var editor = $find('<%= RadWindow1.ContentContainer.FindControl("RadEditor1").ClientID %>');
              editor.onParentNodeChanged();
              var style = editor.get_contentArea().style;
              style.backgroundImage = "none";
              style.backgroundColor = "white";
          }
      </script>
  </div>
  </form>

You see the code CS on follow :

public partial class test : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            this.RadEditor1.Content="hello 1";
            this.RadEditor2.Content="hello 2";

            this.TextBox1.Text = "";
            this.TextBox2.Text = "";

        }

        protected void btn_save_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            this.TextBox1.Text = this.RadEditor1.Content;
            this.TextBox2.Text = this.RadEditor2.Content;
        }

    }

Hello Olivier,

You need to call the onParentNodeChanged(); method for each RadEditor that is in the ContentTemplate of a RadWindow, not for the first one only. Once I added this:

function OnClientShow(sender, args)
{
    . . . . . .

    var editor2 = $find("<%=RadEditor2.ClientID %>");
    editor2.onParentNodeChanged();
}

things started working properly. For your convenience I am attaching here a page that displays the correct behavior along with a video that shows it.

This looks like it would help me but I cannot find the onParentNodeChanged() method.
It is not in the RadEditor API  http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/editor-getting-familiar-with-client-side-api.html
And when I have a break in the client script in Firefox there is no method there either.
Please help me understand why it is that I cannot find the same method you have demonstrated.
Thanks, Joe

I am also having the same issues in this scenario.  Has there been a resolution?

[Ianko]

Hello Bryan,

If the case is using the RadEditor control in a RadWindow you could follow this help article for more information.

The solution described there is about using the Client-side APIs of the two controls to invoke the onParentNodeChanged() method of the editor when the OnClientShow event of the RadWindow is raised.

More information about the APIs can be found in these articles:

1. RadWindow:
   • Client-Side Events;
   • RadWindow API;
2. RadEditor:
   • Getting familiar with Client-Side API;
   • Getting a Reference to RadEditor;

If this is not the troubling case please share with me the details about the encountered problem, so that I could suggest a more to the point solutions.
