btw: I'm using Umbraco 4.7.2 and Contour. 1.1.13

Hey Martin,

Could you share the code for the custom fieldtype ?

Hi Tim,

Thanks for responding so fast!

This is the Code for the Custom Fieldtype:

public class PCListMembers : FieldType
    {
        public CustomControls.PCListOfTherapists lt = new CustomControls.PCListOfTherapists();


        public PCListMembers()
        {
            //Provider
            this.Name = "Filterlijst Postcode/Afstand";
            this.Description = "Filterlijst waarin een therapeut geselecteerd kan worden.";
            this.Id = new Guid("aaa47ea9-2a78-4524-b9d6-6dfaeab39c31");

            //FieldType 
            this.Icon = "dropdownlist.png";
            this.DataType = FieldDataType.Integer;
        }


        public List<Object> _value = new List<object>();
        public override List<object> Values
        {
            get
            {
                if (lt.Text != "")
                {
                    _value.Clear();
                    _value.Add(lt.Text);
                }
                return _value;
            }
            set
            {
                _value = value;
            }
        }

        public override WebControl Editor
        {
            get
            {
                if (_value.Count > 0)
                {
                    lt.Text = _value[0].ToString();
                }

                return lt;
            }
            set
            {
                base.Editor = value;
            }
        }

        public override string RenderPreview()
        {
            return "<input type=\"text\" class=\"textfield\" />";
        }

        public override string RenderPreviewWithPrevalues(List<object> prevalues)
        {
            return RenderPreview();
        }

        public override bool SupportsRegex
        {
            get
            {
                return true;
            }
        }
    }

And this is the code for the custom Control that's referenced:

    public class PCListOfTherapists : TextBox
    {
        public override void RenderControl(HtmlTextWriter writer)
        {            
            
            
            writer.Write("<div class='filterControl'>");
            writer.Write("<div class='filterBox'><div class='zoekLeftLong'><p>Voer postcode in:</p></div><div class='zoekInput'><input type='text' class='textbox pc_" + GetID() + "' id='filterpc" + GetID() + "' name='filterpc' class='textbox kmtb' title='VB:3300AA' value='VB:3300AA'/></div>");
            //writer.Write("<div class='zoekLeft'><p>Km:</p></div><div class='zoekInput'><input type='text' class='textbox km_" + GetID() + "' id='filterkm' name='filterkm' class='textbox' style='display:none;' title='VB:10(km)' value='VB:10(km)'/></div>");
            writer.Write("<div class='zoekBtnShort'><input type='button' id='submitpc' value='' title='" + CommunityModules.EditDictionaryItem.GetDictionaryItem("[Template] Zoeken Refresh", "Klik om de therapeutenlijst te verversen") + "' class='subm_" + GetID() + " buttonRefresh'/></div><div class='SpinnerWrapper' style='display:none;'><img src='/images/loading2.gif' alt='Loading...' /></div></div>");
            writer.Write("<div class='filterContainer'><div class='filterWrapper'><div class='filterList pclist'><div class='filterPieContainer'><ul class='filterlistUl'><li><i>Voer postcode in om therapeuten te zoeken.</i></li></ul></div></div></div><br style='clear:both;'/><hr/><p><strong>Geselecteerd</strong>: <span id='selnames'><i>Geen</i></span></p></div>");
            base.RenderControl(writer);
            writer.Write("</div>");
        }


        protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
        {
            base.OnInit(e);
            this.TextMode = TextBoxMode.SingleLine;
            this.CssClass = "text RelatieVraagTherapeutIdCl LOT_" + GetID();
            this.Attributes.Add("style", "display:none;");

            this.ID = "RelatieVraagTherapeutId";
            this.ClientIDMode = ClientIDMode.Static;




            string script = "$(document).ready(function() {";

            //SOME AJAX SCRIPT....

            umbraco.library.RegisterClientScriptBlock("FilterMethod", script, true);


        }

        private string GetID()
        {
            return "LOT_RelatieVraagTherapeutIdCl";
        }        


        public string Value
        {
            get
            {

                return this.Text;

            }
            set
            {
                this.Text = value;
            }

        }

    }

So what it does is Call an ajax method which loads a list of members dynamically and inserts them in some nice way in a scrolled div.

Then if you click on one of the members, the memberid is getting saved in a hidden TextBox, the value of which gets saved in the contour form.

Could you try moving the lt =newCustomControls.PCListOfTherapists(); into the constructor ?

+ remove 

this.ID ="RelatieVraagTherapeutId";
this.ClientIDMode=ClientIDMode.Static;

Hi Tim,

Did that both. Still the same error when hitting F5 on step 2. Little different now:

Unable to find control id '4a8e7678_932e_4c3d_8d77_39bb02272ceb' referenced by the 'ControlToValidate' property of 'mandatory'.

But that's just the Control ID. (although the control ClientID is ContentPlaceHolderDefault_ctl06_RenderForm_1_rpFieldsets_rpFields_0_4a8e7678_932e_4c3d_8d77_39bb02272ceb_0 )

Hi Tim,

Could you look into this again? It's happening with all my forms with custom Field Types.(I've constructed several)

hope to hear from you!

Martin

Hi Tim,

You havent responded yet. Probably lots of things on your agenda.

Anyways, I'd love to know at least if its still on your radar and whether you could plan in some time. (even if it's in a few weeks I'd be greatful)

thanks in advance.

Martin

Ok, I now think it isn't the custom Fieldtype after all, because I'm having similar issues on other forms.

And other users seem to experience these too: http://our.umbraco.org/forum/umbraco-pro/contour/28594-Contour-form-steps

So, I don't know what's wrong. But it's pretty weird behavior. Anybody got a workaround?

Martin
