re: Spreading some SharePoint Love to EditorPart

Hi,

Your post gave me a head start to what I wanted to achieve: Create a custom editor part that looks _exactly_ like the existing sharepoint editor parts: Appearance, Layout and Advanced.

The link you provided on the bottom helped em even further. That's Colin Gardners post.

He created his own class ("EditorPartPanel") which is responsible for mimicking the SP category editor parts. I started by taking over that code. I had some issues with it. I realized that I might try to dive into the sharepoint dll (using reflector) in search of the class where sharepoint creates those panels. And I found it :) The beast is called Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.TPPanel

Since Colin has his comments moderated, I thought it might be useful for others to make a post here.

So instead of creating your own "EditorPartPanel" class, you can (using reflection) create an instance of the internal sealed TPPanel class like this:

var spAssembly = Assembly.Load("Microsoft.SharePoint");

var bindingFlags = BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Public;

propertyPanel = (Panel)spAssembly.CreateInstance("Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.TPPanel", false,

bindingFlags, null,

new object[] { "My category title", panelContainingEditorControls, true}, null, null);

Controls.Add(propertyPanel); // Controls is the controls collection of your custom editor part.

You can now simply add any control you want to have in your "custom category editor part" to "panelContainingEditorControls" controls collection.

HTH,

TweeZz.

Bil, it seems there is no way for a List Designer to control that a user should be able to submit only once or multiple times?

Thanks Bill for the hint.

It turns out Form Settings shows up on activating Enterprise feature for the site collection. It allows you to switch on InfoPath editing of Forms for the current list (for layout, fields, validations etc). Once activated, it shows up new Button in Ribbon to open the Form in InfoPath (for editing).
