I’ve got a user control which is a datatype using the umbraco usercontrol wrapper. Is it possible to show other datatypes in my user control? I would like to have the (TinyMCE) richtext editor as a part of my usercontrol. I have no idea how I should do this.
More information about what type of user control I’m trying to make can be found at http://forum.umbraco.org/yafpostst9288Create-node-with-a-Datatype.aspx?find=unread.
I'm not completely clear on what you're looking for here, but it seems you want to create composite datatype. Sort of like a Type definition in .NET. Check out Tim's post on creating datatypes programatically:

That's not exactly what I want. I created a datatype using the umbraco usercontrol wrapper. I used Tim's example (http://www.nibble.be/?p=24). In this datatype there are several webcontrols like a gridview and textboxes. Next to these webcontrols I would like to place a richtext editor in my usercontrol. I was hoping I could easly use the umbraco TinyMCE richtext editor, but I don't know how to do that since that is a different datatype I want to use in my own datatype.
I'm currenty working on a project where I'm using Umbraco controls as editor controls. The only control that is not working at this moment is the TinyMCE control. When I've sorted out how this works I'll post it here.
@Richard: let me know if you can get this to work. Especially the tinyMce part, which I think won't be easy... How would you integrated the complete menu in the front end? Or will you be using those in the backend?

Is this on the right track?

Hi Dirk,
Yes I'm affraid that the TinyMCE part will give me a headache. But I'm using it only in the Backend.
Cheers,
Richard
Hi Richard,
Did you already suceeded in using the TinyMCE as an editor control?
Regards
Hi,
