The UniSelector is a user control that can be used to make a selection from a list of objects of a specified data class, such as users, sites etc. Several different selection modes are supported, as is extensive customization. This control can be found in many places within the user interface of Kentico CMS.

 

Another advantage provided by the UniSelector over standard selection controls, such as the DropDownList, is greater performance and scalability, since it is optimized to handle very large amounts of objects.

 

Please be aware that using the UniSelector control beyond its most basic functions requires some knowledge of coding and Kentico CMS API, because when a selection is made, the control only stores the values of the selected objects. Any additional functionality, such as database changes, must be implemented in the handlers of the control's events or using the Click event of a Button control used for confirmation. A basic example can be found in the next topic.
