I need a text control that can display one value and store another value behind it. For example, I want to display Aeronautics1234.Name in the editor control while the actual value of the text is A1234.Name. Since the A1234 is not user friendly, I want to be able to display a more meaningful word (Aeronautics1234) to the user while saving the original value(A1234) in the database as it is. Is it possible to do that with the radeditor, if yes, can you please provide me with an example?
Thank you,
Vithiya

Hi Vithiya,
You can replace the Aeronautics1234 string on the server with A1234 using the String.Replace server method:
string text = RadEditor1.Content.Replace("Aeronautics1234", "A1234");
Once you do the conversion, you can save the modified content (string text) to your database.
All the best,

Hi Rumen,
Thank you for the response. The text is being pasted to the editor from another window. The user selects a value in a popup window and clicks a button that closes the popup and pastes the selected text into the editor in the parent window. I want to be able to pass the editor both the values Aeronautics1234 & A1234. i.e. pasting Aeronautics1234 in the editor for the user's view while storing A1234 in the background. I am wondering if the editor has any other properties where I can store extra information. I hope I am clear in explaining what I need to do.

Hi Vithiya,
RadEditor does not offer the required property for storing extra information. I am not quite sure what your specific scenario is but you can try to set the second value of A1234 to a hidden field and obtain it on the server.
RadEditor is very similar to an enhanced TextBox control and if you are able to implement your scenario with a textbox control you will be able to do it with RadEditor too.
Best regards,
