Does anyone know if the HTMLEditor and HTMLEditorExtender controls in the Toolkit are 2 separate controls are do they both need each other to work?

Thanks

Hi conners,

They should work separately.

HTMLEditorExtender  can work without HtmlEditor ,but  it should extend a textbox just as follows.(please set the TargetControlID property of HtmlEditorExtender to the id of textbox).

HTMLEditor need not to attach to textbox control. However, HtmlEditor is deprecated.https://github.com/DevExpress/AjaxControlToolkit/wiki/Editor

 <asp:TextBox  ID ="txtDescription"  TextMode ="MultiLine"  Columns ="70"  Rows ="6"  runat ="server" /> 
                       
                         <ajaxToolkit:HtmlEditorExtender  ID ="HtmlEditorExtender1"  runat ="server"  TargetControlID ="txtDescription" > 
                             
                             <Toolbar> 
                                 <ajaxToolkit:Bold  /> 
                                 <ajaxToolkit:Italic  /> 
                                 <ajaxToolkit:Underline  /> 
                                 <ajaxToolkit:JustifyLeft  /> 
                                 <ajaxToolkit:JustifyCenter  /> 
                                 <ajaxToolkit:JustifyRight  /> 
                                 <ajaxToolkit:JustifyFull  /> 
                                 <ajaxToolkit:CreateLink  /> 
                                 <ajaxToolkit:UnLink  />                                 
                             </Toolbar> 
                         </ajaxToolkit:HtmlEditorExtender >
