RadEditor for ASP.NET

New major version of RadEditor is now available as a part of RadControls “Prometheus” for ASP.NET. Its new architecture is based on top the ASP.NET AJAX framework in order to directly benefit from client-side behaviors and capabilities. We strongly recommend using the new version for all new development.

Changes in Telerik RadEditor v7.2 (part of Q2 2007)

Changes in Telerik RadEditor v6.5

As of Q2 2006 we have introduced a variety of new common skins (themes in ASP.NET 2.0) for all Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET. By default all controls take a new polished look and feel which is consistent across the whole product line. Five other new common skins (Outlook, Mac, Inox, Telerik and WebBlue) have been added to all Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET for a richer set of interface designs to choose from.

Please, note that if you want to use the old default skins of any product you can still find them in RadControls/[ProductName]/Skins. A preview of all the provided skins is available in our Live Examples.

Changes in Telerik RadEditor v5.6

In order to provide compatibility between Telerik RadEditor and Telerik RadWindow, we made some changes to the /RadControls/Editor/Scripts/<version>/RadWindow.js file.

These changes affect custom dialogs that refer to the RadWindow.js file. You can avoid problems with custom dialogs with a very easy solution. All you need to do is to rename the GetRadWindowManager function in your code to GetEditorRadWindowManager e.g.:

	Copy Code
var radWindow = GetRadWindowManager().GetCurrentRadWindow(window);

should be:

	Copy Code
var radWindow = GetEditorRadWindowManager().GetCurrentRadWindow(window);
