Prior to this control I also used FTB, and this control can get you the text as well...see post http://www.cutesoft.net/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=323. As far as the rest of your code, it should work as is...after you change the control names of course and update your menu definitions. FTB did not allow custom buttons and actions when I was using it...but you can with CuteEditor...this should provide relief for your preference.

Note: If you used client side required field validators with FTB...they will have to be changed to server side. (At least with version 2.3 or older...not sure about 3.0 yet)
