  Using CKEditor in gridview control.

  Dec 05, 2012 05:14 PM|LINK

  Hi I am using CKEditorControl for the 1st time. I am trying to retreive the value of the data stored in the CKEditorControl in a gridview.

  Below is my code:

   <EmptyDataTemplate>
                                      <table ID="NoComm_tbl" style="margin-right: 0px" width="100%">
                                          <tr>
                                              <td class="Span_Title" style="width: 100%">
                                                  Comments</td>
                                          </tr>
                                      </table>
                                      <table ID="No_can_desc_tbl" style="margin-right: 0px" width="100%">
                                          <tr>
                                              <td>
                                                  <CKEditor:CKEditorControl ID="txtnewDescComment" runat="server">
                                                  </CKEditor:CKEditorControl>
                                              </td>
                                          </tr>
                                          <tr>
                                              <td class="Span_Title" width="100%">
                                                  <asp:LinkButton ID="btnDescInsert" runat="server" CommandName="NoDescInsert"
                                                      CssClass="infotitle" Text="Save" />
                                              </td>
                                          </tr>
                                      </table>
                                  </EmptyDataTemplate>

  While retreiving value of 'txtnewDescComment' , I used the following:

  string test = ((CKEditorControl)GV_CandDesc.Controls[0].Controls[0].FindControl("txtnewDescComment")).Text;

  It returns an empty string. Could anyone guide me how to retrieve the correct value? A regular textbox retrieval works fine, but not when using the CkEditor tool.

  Also, could you also let me know how to show CKEditorControl in Itemtamplate?

  Thanks,

  Try this:

  string test = ((CKEditorControl)GV_CandDesc.Controls[0].Controls[0].FindControl("txtnewDescComment")).Content.ToString();

  Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I don't get reference to 'Content' property. I am unable to use it.

  Try this:

  string test = ((CKEditorControl)GV_CandDesc.Controls[0].Controls[0].FindControl("txtnewDescComment")).Content.ToString();
