Actually - figured this out (with the help of Google -- which I probably should have done before emailing the list :) In the custom FieldType xml (FLDTYPES_<name>.XML), you should set the ParentType to be "Note" - i.e. <Field Name="ParentType">Note</Field> Cheers All - Nigel Witherdin Senior Support Analyst Eversheds Direct Dial: +44 (0) 84 549 754 17 Mobile: +44 (0) 7738 553256 www.eversheds.com <http://www.eversheds.com/>
________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Witherdin, Nigel Sent: 07 May 2008 10:40 To: [email protected] Subject: [OzMOSS] Custom Field Type - 255 char limit Hi All, Have written a TreeView control as a custom field type (extends the "BaseFieldType" class), that then stores the node path for selected items as a ; seperated string in the list item (e.g. "NodeName\SubNode\LeafNode; AnotherNodeName\AnotherSubNode\AnotherLeafNode"). My problem is that the value that can be stored for the control seems to have a 255 character limit - which can be hit quite quickly if you have a tree that has a few levels. I guess I could change the control so that it stores node IDs rather then the node path, but I quite like the flexibility inherit in storing the node path. A far better solution would be to be able to extend the amount of characters I can store - but I have no idea how I would go about doing this. Any ideas??
