Hi Zaheka ,

I found one help document "Inserting Text from a Text Control at the Cursor Position", try the same logic to insert the raddropdownlist's selected value in the radeditor.
here is the contents:

The example below demonstrates how to insert text at the cursor position in RadEditor when a button is clicked:

#  Add a textbox to your page:

ASPX/ASCX   <telerik:radeditor runat="server" ID="RadEditor1"></telerik:radeditor>
<asp:textbox id="TextBox1" runat="server" height="97px"></asp:textbox>


# Add a button to execute the paste command:

ASPX/ASCX

<input id="Insert" type="button" value="<--Insert" onclick="PasteTextInEditor(Form1.TextBox1.value);">


# Include the PasteTextInEditor method in your ascx/aspx file. Use the pasteHtml method to paste the content from the textbox:
JaveScript

<script type="text/javascript">
function PasteTextInEditor(text)
{
   var editor = $find("<%=RadEditor1.ClientID%>"); //get a reference to RadEditor client object
   editor.pasteHtml(text); //PasteHtml is a method from the editor client side API
}
</script>

Hi Shinu ,

Thanks for ur reply .

But i tried like the sample u provided but it's giving me an error while running:

The Controls collection cannot be modified because the control contains code blocks (i.e. <% ... %>).

 

<

 

head id="Head1" runat="server">

 

 

 

 

 

<title>Untitled Page</title>

 

<

 

script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">

 

function

 

PasteTextInEditor(text)

 

{

 

var editor = $find("<%=RadEditor1.ClientID%>"); //get a reference to RadEditor client object

 

 

 

 

editor.pasteHtml(text);

//PasteHtml is a method from the editor client side API

 

 

 

 

}

 

 

</

 

script>

 

 

 

</

 

head>

 

 

<

 

body>

 

 

 

 

 

 

<form id="form1" runat="server">

 

 

 

 

 

<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">

 

 

 

 

 

</asp:ScriptManager>

 

 

 

 

 

<div>

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

<

 

telerik:RadComboBox ID="radcombobox2" runat="server"></telerik:RadComboBox>

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

<input id="Insert" type="button" value="<--Insert" onclick="PasteTextInEditor(form1.radcombobox2.value);" />

 

 

 

 

 

<telerik:RadEditor ID="RadEditor1" runat="server">

Hi Zaheka,

You should have your JavaScript code wrapped in a RadCodeBlock in order to avoid this error. More information on the subject is available here.
