Using RadEditor in custom MOSS solutions

To use RadEditor in custom MOSS solutions, you can use the MOSSRadEditor base class.

C#

using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
using Telerik.SharePoint;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages;

namespace Web_Part1
{
	[Guid("7ec7ebb7-a308-48a3-8c70-2210054d2419")]
	public class Web_Part1 : System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.WebPart
	{
		private MOSSRadEditor contentEditor;
		protected override void CreateChildControls()
		{
			contentEditor = new MOSSRadEditor();
			contentEditor.Content = "Enter content...";
			base.CreateChildControls();
		}
		protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
		{
			EnsureChildControls();
			// TODO: add custom rendering code here.
			// writer.Write("Output HTML");
		}
	}
}

It is important to add references to the Telerik.Web.UI.dll and RadEditorSharePoint.dll files. To do so, you need to follow these steps:

1. Open the RadEditor for MOSS distribution.

2. Rename RadEditorMOSS.wsp to RadEditorMOSS.cab and open the file with Windows Cabinet Viewer.

3. Copy Telerik.Web.UI.dll and RadEditorSharePoint.dll to a convenient place on your disk.

4. Add the references to the files in your MOSS project.
