    Custom datatype - key/value dropdownlist

    Hello,

    I'm looking to create a DataType that should work as a key/value dropdownlist, but when I try to create one (using dropdown list as "Render control") I seem to only be allowed to edit the 'Text'. The 'Value' gets an integer automatically assigned.

    I want to use the dropdown so that editors can choose a 'style' for a certain document type. I want the text in the ddl to be Green, Blue and Red, and I would like theit corresponing value to be something like myGreenCssClass, myBlueCssClass etc. This so I can use 

    <xsl:value-of select="./data[@alias = 'myCssColorProperty']"/> 

    in a xslt macro. Can I achieve this?

    specifically look at the line

     this.Items.Add(new ListItem("Title", "nodeName"));

    eg new ListItem(Text, Value)

    I discovered it linked from http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/how-tos/how-to-create-a-custom-macro-parameter-type
