Re: TextEditor

Paste the exact code your using, and go a little bit more in detail about what is not working if you want people to help you.

Thanks,

Re: TextEditor

Hi Vladan,

sorry for my lack of information...basically what i have is this

i have a class that inherits from System.Web.UI.UserControl and when the constructor is called...

a table is created and in one cell the TextEditor is being added

Cell.Controls.Add(textEditor)

On formload it gives this error

An error has occurred.
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at DotNetNuke.UI.UserControls.TextEditor.PopulateLists() at DotNetNuke.UI.UserControls.TextEditor.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

i used this control in another module but what i did is that the control was added to the page already...

in this module i am adding the control at runtime but not calling it directly...i am calling a user control that returns the text editor...

hope this information is enough :) thanks for ur help :)

Re: TextEditor

That's ok

Sounds like a problem with the fact that you are inheriting a UserControl instead of PortalModuleBase or ModuleSettingsBase.

Probably the Editor is internally using some functionality of the base class which is not available in your base class (UserControl).

Did you already try the same scenario directly in a DNN control? Also, I think they have now UserControlBase for their user controls (check out Label control and other ascx controls), so that might work as well.

Re: TextEditor

Hi Vladan,

I tried to create the TextEditor at Runtime in a DNN Control ...

The result was the same

this was my code

TextEditor m_TxtBox = new TextEditor();

this.Controls.Add(m_TxtBox);

The error is the same (Object not set to an instance of an object in populatelists() )

i hope im doing something wrong :P

Regards
