RadEditor's default height and width

[Nick]

I am experiencing a problem with the RadEditor's default size -- it is very large and is distorting other elements on the page.

To illustrate, i have a 400x400px web part zone on a page. This renders perfectly when the page is in "view" or "edit" mode, however when i select "Modify Shared Web Part", the Radeditor stretches the web part zone to approx 800px wide and 600px high, overlapping all corresponding page elements.

I have tried setting the width of the RadEditor window to a fixed size (400x400px).  This fixes the auto-stretching issue (ie. it displays in a 400x400px space) however the RadEditor window then has scrollbars for all the added whitespace.

Is there any way i can get the RadEditor to stretch to 100% of the web part zone without it adding all the superfluous whitespace?

Hi Nick,

Could you please open a support ticket and send me some screenshots (or a video) that demonstrate the problem? What happens when you set the desired width and height in the respective ConfigFile.xml e.g.

<configuration>
  ..............
  <property name="ToolsWidth">400px</property>
  <property name="Width">400px</property>
  <property name="Height">400px</property>
</configuration>

I will review the details and do my best to provide a solution.

I have the latest controls. However, I am experiencing the same problem. Because I hape too many tools available, the control is being stretched to the width of the toolbar which does not go to the next line.

<telerik:RadEditor ID="RadEditor1" runat="server" Height="200px" Width="300px" Skin="WebBlue"
                                 Style="width: 300px" ToolsFile="~/RadResource/cs_sb_ed.xml"  ToolsWidth   ="300px"
                                Content='<%# Eval("Instruction") %>'>
                                <content></content>
                            </telerik:RadEditor>

Setting toolsWidth does not help. .

Hello debett,

You will need to split the tools to separate toolbars. The editor will always try to fit all tools from a toolbar on a single line. So instead of
<root>
    <tools>
        <tool name="..."/>
        <tool name="..."/>
        <tool name="..."/>
        <tool name="..."/>
...
        <tool name="..."/>
        <tool name="..."/>
        <tool name="..."/>
        <tool name="..."/>
    </tools>
</root>

you should reorganize the tools file to:

<root>
    <tools>
        <tool name="..."/>
        <tool name="..."/>
        <tool name="..."/>
        <tool name="..."/>
    </tools>
    <tools>
        <tool name="..."/>
        <tool name="..."/>
        <tool name="..."/>
        <tool name="..."/>
    </tools>
    <tools>
        <tool name="..."/>
        <tool name="..."/>
        <tool name="..."/>
        <tool name="..."/>
    </tools>
</root>
