Hi,

I have a few user controls that I use to edit data outside Umbraco. What I would really like to do is be able to create a tab for a documenttype and then add a working user control just like a property. This would be great because you wouldn't have to leave the happy Umbraco environment and load a page outside of it to actually use the control.

I read Daniel's excellent article here HERE.

The user control in this case is only used to display data, it can't do any "work".

I don't think there's a way to do this, but maybe it would be useful in future versions?

What do you think? It would make an Umbraco installation more "integrated".

Hi Mark

You can create your own datatypes. Take a look at the cool datatypes like MultiplePagePicker or something else. I have done a new datatype for an commercial editor. You have to implement some interfaces. I will come back to you tomorrow from my company where I have the code.
