What do you mean by a TabView? If you want to add a richtext editor to the front end of your site, you may just want to look at TinyMCE directly (that is the rich text editor that umbraco uses. You can add a usercontrol to your page with a macro (In the developer Section). You just select a usercontrol use to use with the macro. ('Developers' < 'Macros'). Then, there are buttons in the template and in the rich text editor of the content area to add a macro.

If you mean in the backend, you add a richtext editor to a page/node in 'Settings < Document Types'. You then use that alias for your richtext editor (set in your document type) in your template and it outputs the HTML that was saved from your richtext editor. 

I would like to have it in a custom section in the backend and the entered text will then be saved in a DB.

I need to do this by code not by any settings in Umbraco UI.

Right now i'v got:

----------------------

<%@ Register Namespace="umbraco" Assembly="umbraco" TagPrefix="umb"%>

<%@ Register Namespace="umbraco.uicontrols" Assembly="controls" TagPrefix="cc1" %>

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" MasterPageFile="../masterpages/umbracoPage.master" validateRequest="false" CodeBehind="editProduct.aspx.cs" Inherits="Ecommerce.Products.editProduct" %>



<asp:Content ID="Content" ContentPlaceHolderID="body" runat="server">       
        <cc1:TabView ID="tabControl" runat="server" Height="692px" Width="552px" />
          
           <cc1:Pane ID="ProductInfoPane" Height="600px" Width="330px" runat="server">
            <cc1:PropertyPanel runat="server" ID="pp_name">
                <asp:TextBox ID="txtName" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>   
            </cc1:PropertyPanel>
           
            <cc1:PropertyPanel runat="server" ID="pp_price">
                <asp:TextBox ID="txtPrice" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>   
            </cc1:PropertyPanel>
           </cc1:Pane>
          
           <cc1:Pane ID="ProductDescriptionPane" Height="600px" Width="330px" runat="server">                    
                <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" TextMode="MultiLine" Width="500px" Height="300px"></asp:TextBox>           
           </cc1:Pane>
          
           <cc1:Pane ID="ProductPropPane" Height="600px" Width="330px" runat="server">
            <cc1:PropertyPanel runat="server" ID="pp_picture">
                <asp:Literal ID="lit_picture" runat="server" />
            </cc1:PropertyPanel>
           </cc1:Pane>
</asp:Content>

--------------------------

AND in the code behind

-----------------

protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
        {
            // The info tab
            InfoTab = tabControl.NewTabPage(umbraco.ui.GetText("eCommerce", "tab_edit_product_info")); //change to xml lang
            InfoTab.Controls.Add(ProductInfoPane);

            var SaveButton = InfoTab.Menu.NewImageButton();
            SaveButton.ImageUrl = GlobalSettings.Path + "/images/editor/save.gif";
            SaveButton.AltText = umbraco.ui.GetText("buttons", "save");
            SaveButton.Click += new ImageClickEventHandler(Save_Info);
           

            // The description tab
            DescriptionTab = tabControl.NewTabPage(umbraco.ui.GetText("eCommerce", "tab_edit_product_description")); //change to xml lang           
            DescriptionTab.Controls.Add(ProductDescriptionPane);

         }

------------

So what I whant is fore the Description TAB to implment a richtexteditor and when i press save i will call the action for saving the genereated HTML to my custom DB.

Thx for helping out!

If you are creating a custom section that saves to a custom DB, why do you want to do it within umbraco? It may be easier to create the stuff you want in content and create an actionhandler that saves it to your custom database when it gets saved in content: http://umbraco.org/documentation/books/creating-and-using-an-action-handler

It looks like this person is doing the same thing: http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/extending-umbraco/6922-Use-Umbraco-TinyMCE-Editor-in-Custom-Page
