Custom TextBox control

[rsdev]

Hi,

I've successfully created a custom TextBox class based on 'TextBox', I have assigned a render method to encode the bound data into html encoded text.

Like this;

public class TextField : TextBox
    {
        public virtual string Text
        {
            get
            {
                string s = (string)ViewState["Text"];
                return (s == null) ? String.Empty : s;
            }
            set
            {
                ViewState["Text"] = value;
            }
        }
 
        protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
        {
            writer.Write(Text);
        }  
    }

Great! Now I render the page and would like to edit my text. But the text is no longer editable, does anyone know how I can still make this text editable?

I know I could try a Rich Text Editor but I just want the plain text edited and keep the tags as they are.

Help appreciated.

Thanks radcaesar,

That post wasn't quite what I was looking for. Basically I want to build a rich text editor that inherits the textbox control rather than using an iframe... With basic functionality (no toolbars etc.)

Thanks.

For that u have to customize and override all the functionalities.
