I would have a look and the CSS styles that get used for the standard RTE (view source), you'll most likey need these for your custom datatype.

Did you make any progress with this Roger?  I have exactly the same question, I've added the MCE webcontrol to my datatype i..e

<%@ Register TagPrefix="umb" Namespace="umbraco.editorControls.tinyMCE3.webcontrol"
    Assembly="umbraco.editorControls" %>

<umb:TinyMCEWebControl runat="server" ID="editor" ></umb:TinyMCEWebControl>

and can't get any control over the toolbar

Hi jim and Roger,

you can use the tiny MCE Rich Text Editor in your control or aspx custom page using this code in .cs file which can add TinyMCE RTE in your contol or page via code.

private umbraco.editorControls.tinyMCE3.TinyMCE _tinymce = null;

protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

            var thirdTab = Tab.NewTabPage("Third TinyMCE");
            thirdTab.Controls.Add(Pane3);

            DataTypeDefinition d = DataTypeDefinition.GetDataTypeDefinition(-87);
            _tinymce = (umbraco.editorControls.tinyMCE3.TinyMCE)d.DataType.DataEditor;
            _tinymce.ID = "T1";
            Pane3.Controls.Add(_tinymce);

            thirdTab.Menu.NewElement("div", "umbTinymceMenu_" + _tinymce.ClientID, "tinymceMenuBar", 0); // adds to menu bar

}

or go to the search and find " using RTE in custom section "

when you use the tinyMCE webcontrol ,, it will add the control to web page but it will change the id of toolbar which couse the problem in the rendering the toolbar in the header pane.

this code render the toolbar in main header pane which is exaclty the same as umbraco RTE.

Hope this will help ...

Cheers
