How do I access RadEditor added via CreateChildControls

[Loke Kit Kai]

I've added RadEditor via CreateChildControls in a web part. I'm trying to access the RadEditor to insert some text via javascript, but not having much success. I tried getting the RadEditor with GetRadEditor, but that method doesn't seem to exist. Same goes to get_html(). Is there any js files that I need to add?

Hello,

You can access the editor using its client ID. See the following help article for more information: http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/editor_getingreferencetoradeditor.html

If you do not have a reference to the editor control and you cannot get its ClientID property, then you can use a purely client-side approach to finding all instances of the RadEditor on a page using the global $telerik.radControls array:

<script type="text/javascript">
function findAllEditors()
{
  if ($telerik && Telerik.Web.UI.RadEditor)
  {
    var len = $telerik.radControls.length;
    for (var i=0;i<len;i++)
    {
      var control = $telerik.radControls[i];
      if (Telerik.Web.UI.RadEditor.isInstanceOfType(control))
      {
        var editorHtml = control.get_html(true);
      }
    }
  }
}
</script>

Running the above function after the page is loaded will allow you to get the html of all editors on the page.
