Can I add an HTML Editor to my custom module settings? I tried adding a TextEditor control, but I'm not sure that's the right control. 

If that is correct, how can I set the text value of the editor when the module loads? There's no "Text" property

Thanks for the reply William. I actually started with that Wiki post. It turns out the problem was in my designer.cs file. For some reason the TextEditor control was set as 

System.Web.UI.UserControl, rather than 
DotNetNuke.UI.UserControls.TextEditor

I've seen this before, but don't understand why it happens. In any case, I'll have to remember to check the .designer.cs file from now on.

Thanks again

I thought that the issue might be in VS not assigning the correct class to the control in the designer file but had to make sure that you were properly referencing the TextEditor control in your markup.

I have had this same issue happen to me many times with the TextEditor control, the DnnLabel control, and some of the other "core" user controls. Most of my VS development of DNN modules is done "outside" of a DNN installation's DesktopModules folder as I like to avoid closely tying the development to a particular DNN installation's DesktopModules folder except during testing and debugging. I have tried all sorts of configuration of the project's Web references, IIS root application URL override, etc. without completely eliminating the problem. I too have had to manually edit the designer file.

Keep in mind, however, that any further changes you make to the markup may force the designer file to be re-generated - in which case you will have to again manually update the TextEditor controls class in the newly-generated designer file.

I just discovered this same thing, and returned to the forums to ask for a solution. Every time I touch my Settings.ascx file, it seems to re-set all my dnn controls (LabelControl, TextEditor so far) to some .NET version ie System.Web.UI.WebControls.

It's a total pain. Do you know if anyone is working on it? It seems like I should be able to register these DNN control somewhere to avoid this issue.
