Hi Christian,

Good point, we'll add this to the dev docs and the shared source for now here is the sourcecode for the textfield fieldsetting type

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

namespace Umbraco.Forms.Core.FieldSetting
{
    public class TextField : FieldSettingType
    {
        private TextBox tb = new TextBox();

        public override string Value
        {
            get
            {
                return tb.Text;
            }
            set
            {
                tb.Text = value;
            }
        }

        public override System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebControl RenderControl(Attributes.Setting sender, Form form)
        {
            tb.ID = sender.GetName();
            tb.TextMode = TextBoxMode.SingleLine;
            tb.CssClass = "guiInputText guiInputStandardSize";
            

            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(tb.Text) && Prevalues.Count > 0)
                tb.Text = Prevalues[0];
            
            return tb;
        }
    }
}

And this for the DocumentType picker

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace Umbraco.Forms.Core.FieldSetting.Pickers {
    public class DocumentType : BasePicker {
        public DocumentType() {
            ObjectGuid = new Guid("a2cb7800-f571-4787-9638-bc48539a0efb");
        }
    }
}

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace Umbraco.Forms.Core.FieldSetting.Pickers {
    public class BasePicker : FieldSettingType {

        public Guid ObjectGuid { get; set; }
        
        private System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList ddl = new System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList();

        private string _val = string.Empty;

        public override string Value {
            get {
                return ddl.SelectedValue;
            }
            set {
                if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(value))
                    _val = value;
            }
        }

        public override System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebControl RenderControl(Attributes.Setting sender, Form form) {
            
            ddl.ID = sender.GetName();

            ddl.Items.Clear();
            List<KeyValuePair<String, String>> items = new List<KeyValuePair<String,String>>();

             if(ObjectGuid != Guid.Empty){
                Guid[] guids = umbraco.cms.businesslogic.CMSNode.getAllUniquesFromObjectType(ObjectGuid);
                foreach (Guid g in guids) {
                    umbraco.cms.businesslogic.CMSNode node = new umbraco.cms.businesslogic.CMSNode(g);
                    items.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, string>(node.Id.ToString(), node.Text));
                }
             }

            items.Sort(delegate(KeyValuePair<String, String> x, KeyValuePair<String, String> y) { return x.Value.CompareTo(y.Value); });

            foreach (KeyValuePair<String, String> kv in items) {
                ddl.Items.Add( new System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListItem(kv.Value, kv.Key));
            }

            System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListItem li = new System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListItem("Choose...", "");
            li.Selected = true;
            ddl.Items.Insert(0, li);

            ddl.SelectedValue = _val;

            return ddl;
        }

    }
}

Is that enough info to get you going?

Could it be possible that is can only load settings from Umbraco.Forms.Core and not from other assemblies ?

I have tried your first example and it gives an exception

[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]
   Umbraco.Forms.UI.Pages.editPrevalues.LoadSettings() in d:\TeamCity\buildAgent\work\e4473b9ec9597356\Umbraco.Forms.UI\Pages\editPrevalueSource.aspx.cs:88

@Christian,

Yup looks like that is the case currently, untill we have an update ready, is the dropdownlist an option for you?

 [Attributes.Setting("DropdownlistTest", description = "Dropdownlist demo", control = "Umbraco.Forms.Core.FieldSetting.Dropdownlist", prevalues="first,second,third")]

Hi Tim

I Could not use the dropdownlist since the prevalues are comming from Campaign Monitor.

I have downloaded the latest build and I can now add the assembly and it works perfectly :-)

Great, glad it works!

is working on a reply...
