    Rendering usercontrols in nested macros

    I have a question whether it is posible to render usercontrols properly in a nested macro.

    On my page I have razor macro that enumerates multiple nodes which again contains a RTE datatype. 

    On that datatype I have different content including usercontrol forms. 

    Now these forms renders ok with:

     @Html.Raw(umbraco.library.RenderMacroContent(box.GetPropertyValue("content"), Model.Id))

    And to some extend they get output correctly.

    The problem is that since they are usercontrols the aspnet callback functionality does not work right for example: 

    <input name="ApplyTravelerForm_12$FirstName" type="text" id="ApplyTravelerForm_12_FirstName" class="required">

    does not contain the entire control tree. I understand this is due to a limitation in the way umbraco renders the macro.

     /// Python and .ascx based macros will not render properly, as viewstate is not included.
            /// </summary>
            /// <param name="Text">The macro markup to be rendered.</param>
            /// <param name="PageId">The page id.</param>
            /// <returns>The rendered macro as a string</returns>
            public static string RenderMacroContent(string Text, int PageId)

    Is there no way of extending or hacking this so that the control becomes aware of its context and thereby working?

    I am wondering the same thing. How can this be solved in a somewhat elegant way?

    My problem is this, i have a macro that renders all content because of translations. It checks what language to render. Contour is inserted through RTE, and does not work.

    I am thinking of having a manually inserted iframe that shows a special contour page, but how to check what contour form to render. And having iframes doesn't feel right, just to get around this problem..
