Help with Complex Data Type for a 3rd party Slider Control
I need assistance to create a complex data type for a 3rd party Slider Control.
Each Slider page will have a background image, link as well as a collection of configuration items which I will refer to as SliderPageItem.
I am looking for some assistance in creating a complex data type called SliderPageItem
The SliderPageItem will have the a number of properties that the content editor will assign values to such as final_top, duration, image, link url etc.
Can anyone provide an example of a data grid like control within a custom datatype similar to the Related Links data type where the user can add/edit row items for Caption, Link etc, but in my case each row item would be a SliderPageItem.
Is there any base data type that I can use to build this out or example to build as custom data type.

Hi John,
I think the best option is to create a property editor using one of these packages :

Thanks Dave, the Nested Data Type was perfect for my needs, my slider editor experience is working well now.
Thanks so much!
