Editing content issues

[Bader]

Hi,

I have some questions based on the below sample usercontrol code which contains a RadEditor control:

1) By trying to change the writing direction (RTL TO LTR or vise versa), Only by selecting the required paragraph and click on the required direction, the paragraph changes its direction. I need to enable the user to click the required direction and the cursor must be displayed in the required place, for example, In case there is no content on the RadEditor or the user clicked Enter to begin a new paragraph, if the user click RTL button, then the cursor must be displayed in the right (even if there is no content yet).

2) The same issue as 1, I face with the bullet list. I need to clcik the bullet list button and the first bullet must be displayed, even if there is no content (In the current case, I need to type at least one letter and put the cursor in the begining of the row and to click the bullet list button).

3) By caaling the user control within a FormView (Or any other control that needs DataSource), and trying to databind the EditorContent property as below, then, the content doesn't displayed, why? and how can I databind the radeditor control in my case?

My user control:
ascx:

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="DefaultUserControl.ascx.cs" Inherits="Tmonavot.General_App_Controls_RadEditor_DefaultUserControl" %>

    }

Sample formview control:

                ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:GeneralConnectionString %>"
                SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [gPagesContent] WHERE ([PageID] = 41)">
            </asp:SqlDataSource>

            <asp:FormView ID="FormView1" runat="server" DataKeyNames="PageID"
                DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" Width="100%">
                <ItemTemplate>
                    <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
                        <tr>
                        <td valign="top" width="400">
                            <asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text="By displaying content using Label:" ></asp:Label>
                        </td>
                        <td valign="top" width="*">
                            <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("PContent", "{0}") %>'></asp:Label>
                        </td>
                        </tr>
                        <tr>
                        <td valign="top" width="400">
                            <asp:Label ID="ContentLabel1" runat="server" Text="By displaying content using RadEditor:" ></asp:Label>
                        </td>
                        <td valign="top" width="*">

                    </table>
                </ItemTemplate>
            </asp:FormView>
