Summary

Icon Class Selector is an extension which allows developers to pick icons (icon classes) more easily through an integrated user interface.

Description

Icon Class Selector extends the out-of-the-box form controls without changing them in any way. Developers can use it for Page types, Page templates and wherever Kentico let's you pick an icon for object visualization. Currently it supports the Bootstrap icons that come with each Kentico installation.

Important

This extension does not support website projects. Only Kentico installations of type web application are supported. ASP.NET Website projects by nature don't support the concept of partial classes which we use for adding the desired functionality.
