[Solved] Tools collection of RadEditor is empty!

[Scott Harford]

Greetings,

I've been having trouble loading the RadEditor (Telerik.Web.UI.RadEditor) into Visual Studio .Net 2008.  I followed the steps provided under RadEditor - Getting Started.

http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/gettingstarted.html

That is, I created the project and then added the two folders specified:
    App_Data\RadSpell
    App_GlobalResources

In these folders I placed the appropriate files from the Telerik Program Files directory.  I then placed a RadEditor control on my AJAX-enabled web page.  However, I get the following message in the middle of the control:

        -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        The Tools collection of this RadEditor is empty

        If the Tools collection is empty, RadEditor will automatically load its Default tools at runtime, 
        or if the ToolsFile property was set, RadEditor will load information from that file instead.
        -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can someone help me with this ??

Thanks in advance!

Hi Scott,

Thank you for contacting us and reporting this issue.

The requested toolbar design time rendering is still not fully implemented, however this does not effect the toolbar rendering in runtime when the editor is displayed on the page. For the time being the editor will render its toolbar in Design time of Visual Studio if you declare the tools using the inner Tools tag, e.g.

<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" />
<telerik:RadEditor ID="RadEditor1" runat="server" Skin="Default">
    <Tools>
        <telerik:EditorToolGroup>
            <telerik:EditorTool Name="Bold" />
            <telerik:EditorTool Name="Italic" />
            <telerik:EditorTool Name="Underline" />
        </telerik:EditorToolGroup>
    </Tools>
</telerik:RadEditor>

Nevertheless, I logged your request in our ToDo list and we will try to implement it in the upcoming builds of RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX. I updated your Telerik points for your feedback.
