GridHtmlEditorColumn background colour

[Clive Hoggar]

I am using this editor column, and it is inheriting the page css. This is OK except that I want to over-ride the 
background color so that the text area has a plain white background.  Just setting the item background color property does not seem to do it.
I am sure I am missing something simple! Please help!

Thanks

OK ,  after following a few threads I have finally used this approach, which works for the insert and edit modes:

Protected Sub RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(sender As Object, e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs) Handles RadGrid1.ItemDataBound

        If e.Item.IsInEditMode AndAlso (TypeOf e.Item Is GridEditFormItem) Then
            Dim gridEditFormItem As GridEditFormItem = DirectCast(e.Item, GridEditFormItem)
            Dim radEditor As RadEditor = DirectCast(gridEditFormItem("Body").Controls(0), RadEditor)
            radEditor.ContentAreaCssFile = "../css/editor.css"
            radEditor.Height = Unit.Pixel(750)
            radEditor.Width = Unit.Pixel(600)

        End If
    End Sub

The only snag is that the default green page background shows up again in the 'preview' mode. I tried "e.item.isinpreviewmode" approach but that is not valid!  

Can someone help?  There must be a simple answer!

Thanks

Hello,

Replace this line radEditor.ContentAreaCssFile = "../css/editor.css" with

radEditor.CssFiles.Add("../css/editor.css");
