Efficient way of adjusting all editors on page

[Benjamin]

Hi,

i managed to set the width of 1 html editor using this way in the C# code

txtDescription.Width = Unit.Pixel(480);
txtDescription.Height = Unit.Pixel(350);

but my page has about 20 editors and some editor are created dynamically via the asp:Repeater.

is there any way to set the height and width of all the editor like for example in ToolsFile.xml or config file?

i would prefer not to touch the editor ascx file as my web application just reference the dll and i do not have the ascx file

Hi Benjamin,

You have several options:

• use ASP Themes
• access the control in the ItemDataBound event of the repeater
• traverse all controls recursively, check their type and set values
• do that on the client via the setSize method

Hi Marin thanks for the reply. 

i would like to check how do i resize those editor not in repeater?

i tried this but it is not entering the if(ctrl is RadEditor)

01.foreach(Control ctrl in Page.Controls)
02.{
03.    if (ctrl is RadEditor)
04.    {
05.       RadEditor control = ctrl as RadEditor;
06.       ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this, this.GetType(), "alertMessage", "alert('Now setting "+ control.ClientID +" width')", true);
07.
08.       if (control != null)
09.       {
10.             control.Width = Unit.Pixel(width);
11.             control.Height = Unit.Pixel(height);
12.       }
13.       else
14.       {
15.          ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this, this.GetType(), "alertMessage", "alert('Control " + ctrl.ClientID +" not found')", true);
16.                        return;
17.       }
18.   }
19.}

Hi Benjamin,

Try looping through the form's collection, because the Page contains just the Form object.

foreach (Control ctrl in form1.Controls)

I also advise that you look into recursive traversal in case the editor is in a Panel or other control.

his Marin,

sorry for asking this as this is the first time i traverse asp control. 

how do i do recursive traverse as the editor is inside RadMultiPage, RadPageView control

Hello,

There are numerous examples of recursive traversals in the net, for example:
