Hi All,
I've been trying to get this Rich Text control working in a custom aspx page. The control renders, but without the rich text editing ribbon on the top. It just looks like a normal multiline textbox. My code for this is below if anyone has any idea why this is happening I would very much appreciate any help. Thanks in advance

Control Definition:

<SharePoint:InputFormTextBox runat="server" ID="RichTextBox" ValidationGroup="CreateCase" Rows="8" Columns="40" RichText="true" RichTextMode="FullHtml" AllowHyperlink="true" />

Hi John,

May be, you have to add TextMode="MultiLine" to the control definition

By placing the textbox inside InputFormControl and InputFormSection ... for a sharepoint look and feel you should achieve success in getting the full functionality of the RichTextBox

<cc1:InputFormSectionrunat="server"Title="[TITLE]"Description="[DESCRIPTION]">

<template_inputformcontrols>

<cc1:InputFormControlrunat="server"LabelText="

<cc1:InputFormControlrunat="server"

LabelText="[LABEL_FOR_RICH_TEXT_BOX]">

<Template_Control>

<cc1:InputFormTextBoxID="[ID]"Title="[TITLE]"runat="server"RichTextMode="FullHtml"RichText="true"TextMode="MultiLine"Columns="20"Rows="20"/>

</Template_Control>

</cc1:InputFormControl>

</template_inputformcontrols>

</cc1:InputFormSection>
