I'm using Version 6, my boss just bought it a few weeks ago.
OK, So the sample worked. So then I started taking out anything that wasn't part of the code for the sample. When I removed my custom config file, setHTML() worked. Odd though that it did. Not sure why. I'm used to using the disabled items string anyway, the version I have on another server of my own is Ver 3. (Yeah, one of these days I will upgrade).
But I also have a problem with all the buttons on the toolbars and with the bottom bar. None of the toolbar buttons work. If I press them, they do flash, so the mousedown event is probably firing or something. On the bottom bar, I can't switch views and expand/collapse don't work either. So I went back again and I started with the sample. I'm down to what I think is the minimum needed to get an editor to run.
CommentEditor.ID = "TaskCodeComment"
CommentEditor.Text = sCurrentComment
CommentEditor.FilesPath = "ce/CuteEditor_Files"
CommentEditor.AutoConfigure = "Default"
CommentEditor.Draw()
The ce folder is the root of the Zip file.
Not sure what is happening or where to look at this point.
