Hi,
Im doing a ad rotator for umbraco and are looking into different options on how to develop it. One of the ideas is to make a usercontrol and add it to the tabs in the administration area.
But one of the things i need to this admin module is the abillity to select a media node from the umbraco system. But how to do that? Is it possible to use the media picker control and render that somehow in my usercontrol?

You can call media picker via javascript call in your code. Check sources of the media picker umbraco data type.

Hi, Notifications do not work as intended. Might get mutiple notifications at once, or none at all. It's just not working as it should. Just don't rely on it! Solution to this is to watch the 'Active topics', at leats that's what I do.. Greetz, /Dirk

But i dont want to do all that javascript if i can only call the constructor for the mediaChooser (as it inherit from hiddenfield) and add it to my control. But i need to give the constructor a IData parameter but dont know what to send to it. Anyone got an idea?

mediaChooser is the editor control for the data type. IData is responsible for storing data type state. So dont sure that it can be used as the origignal user control. May be try to create some fake IData realization - but not sure.Why you cant use it as datatype?

Create simple class which implement IData interface- than add mediachooser control to yours with this class as constructor parameter. In the button handler call Save() method of the mediachooser control beforeadding your logic. Thats all - property Text will contain id of the media node. It is work for me.
