"Child items" tab appears with my Media type when created programmatically
I've created a custom Media Type (for Images) in code, and have uploaded images into the new Media Type.
However, it has created a "Child Items" tab for each one of the images I uploaded into my custom media type, visible when I click an image in the Media section.
This isn't visible when I inspect the Media Type in the Settings section.
I haven't specified permissions so I'm not sure why it has a "Child items" tab.
Hi Sven
here's my code (in VB.NET - comments are prefixed with a single quote).
Private Sub createMediaType(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnCreateMediaType.Click

Could you post the code that is generating these media items?
