I used in one page the BGcolor property from the codebehind page to set the container table background color for cute editor.

 

As I built another page using the editor inside datagrid by provided example, I could not set this property from codebehind anymore (no object found - maybe you can help here?!) and I tried to put BgColor attribute in the element definition. However it seems that the editor control responds wrongfully by setting it's background to the specified color, not the container table background.

 

Is there any workaround?

Ciprian,

 

Just set BgColor property as followings:

 

<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText = "Title">

        <ItemTemplate>

            <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "FirstName") %>

        </ItemTemplate>

        <EditItemTemplate>

                <CE:Editor

                    id = "FirstName_box"

                    Template="Bold,Italic,Underline"

                    Height=80

                     Width=200     

                     ShowBottomBar="false" Text = '<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "FirstName") %>'

                    runat =   "Server">

            </CE:Editor>

        </EditItemTemplate>

  </asp:TemplateColumn>

<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText = "Title">

        <ItemTemplate>

            <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "LastName") %>

        </ItemTemplate>

        <EditItemTemplate>

            <CE:Editor

                id = "LastName_box"

                BgColor="black"

                Template="Bold,Italic,Underline" Height=80 Width=200 ShowBottomBar="false"

                Text = '<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "LastName") %>'

                runat = "Server" >

        </CE:Editor>

       </EditItemTemplate>

</asp:TemplateColumn>

 

I did this:

<CE:Editor id="subject" BGColor="black" Template="Bold,Italic,Underline" .....

 

And I obtained this:

 

As you can see, the result is a bit strange. It may be possible that I use a wrong formated css file? Please have a look at it as well:
