Creation of custom control using the Two rad Editors

[Ragupathi]

  hi,
 I have created a custom control using two radeditors and a spliiter in the middle . I want to render the control into in the design mode . I am not able to get the complete control when i drag and drop. it sis visisble in the Run time in the aspx. But i want the control tioo be rendered in the design time itself.



note: i am able to obtain other controls when rendering .. except the  radeditor and splitter..

please help me in this process.






here the code which i have send as HTML:
  <telerik:RadSplitter id="Radsplitter3" runat="server" height="300" width="700" Orientation="Horizontal">
                <telerik:RadPane id="Radpane4" runat="server">
                    Splitt<telerik:RadEditor ID="RadEditor1" Runat="server">
                    </telerik:RadEditor>
                  Top Pane
                </telerik:RadPane>
                <telerik:RadSplitBar id="Radsplitbar4" runat="server" CollapseMode="Forward"/>
                <telerik:RadPane id="Radpane5" runat="server">
                    Splitter Bottom<telerik:RadEditor ID="RadEditor2" Runat="server">
                    </telerik:RadEditor>
                 </telerik:RadPane>
            </telerik:RadSplitter>


Find the code which i used to render the telerik controls.   

   

    #region CreateChildControls
        protected override void CreateChildControls()
        {
            try
            {
                //// Creation of the Controls
                radPaneTop.Controls.Add(radEditorTop);
                radPaneBottom.Controls.Add(radEditorBottom);
                radSplit.Controls.Add(radPaneTop);
                radSplit.Controls.Add(radSplitBar);
                radSplit.Controls.Add(radPaneBottom);
               
                this.Controls.Add(radSplit);
                base.CreateChildControls();
            }
            catch (Exception ExpCreateChildControls)
            {
                throw ExpCreateChildControls;
            }
        }

        #region EnsureChildControls
        protected override void EnsureChildControls()
        {
            base.EnsureChildControls();
        }
        #endregion
        #endregion

        protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
        {
            try
            {
                // AddAttributesToRender(writer);
                if (HttpContext.Current != null)
                {
                    //Panel a = new Panel();
                    //TextBox b = new TextBox();
                    //a.RenderBeginTag(writer);                  

                    this.radSplit.RenderBeginTag(writer);
                    this.radPaneTop.RenderBeginTag(writer);
                    //this.radEditorTop.RenderControl(writer);                                       
                    this.radEditorTop.RenderControl(writer);
                    this.radPaneTop.RenderEndTag(writer);
                    this.radSplitBar.RenderBeginTag(writer);
                    this.radSplitBar.RenderEndTag(writer);
                    this.radPaneBottom.RenderBeginTag(writer);
                    this.radEditorBottom.RenderControl(writer);
                    this.radPaneBottom.RenderEndTag(writer);
                    this.radSplit.RenderEndTag(writer);
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {

            }

Hi Ragupathi,

The reason for the problem is your code that overrides the CreateChildControls and Render methods. Our suggestion is to not execute this code when switching to Design mode of Visual Studio by wrapping the code inside the following if statement:

if (!this.DesignMode)
{
    //custom code
}
