ToolsFile does not seem to be getting picked up

[hkdave95]

Hi

My ToolsFile setting does not seem to be getting picked up.

I copied the original from the RadControls directory to a new directory and modified it slightly.

Modified ToolsFile ...

Hello hkdave95,

I tried to reproduce the problem with the attached page and user control, but to no avail. Am I missing something?

Note that you might have to change the path to the tools file, because the ToolsFile folder in the archive was a sub folder of my test application.

Hi

Apologies, I forgot to mention that the WebuserControl is an "EditForm" inside a RadGrid.

Hi

Your 1019 build Hotfix solved this problem as well as the one I was having on the other thread.

Thanks for the Support.

I seem to be having this same problem.
I am using version 2007.3.1218.20 (Retail)
 Here is my ASPX

<

telerik:RadEditor ToolsFile="~/ToolsFile.xml" ID="redMail" runat="server" EditModes="Design"

Skin="Telerik" Width="100%">

<Content>

</Content>

<SpellCheckSettings SpellCheckProvider="PhoneticProvider" WordIgnoreOptions="None" />

</telerik:RadEditor>

I am using a toolsfile that was copied from a working version of RadEditor ASP.net 2007 Q3 and am trying to switch to Prometheus.

I am also getting a 'Sys' is undefined error which I believe relates to Ajax/Jscript issues somewhere.  Any ideas what is happening?

Thanks
Brett

Seems after fixing Ajax setup in web.config and learning about the changes to ToolsFile for Prometheus version, all is well.
