Adding form controls to a custom CMS Module

Beau Cowan asked on March 18, 2014 17:33

I'm creating a new custom module in the CMS that will export part of the site, and I want to include the document selection form control, or at least have an ability to select a certain page type from this module.

I've checked through the documentation and haven't found anything that helps in regards to integrating form controls into modules. If anyone has a suggestion on how I can accomplish this so that it looks appealing to the client, that would be helpful. I want to try and make it work as much like the Content tab as possible. Especially with opening a modal and then being able to use the document selector based on whichever site you are on.

You can simply reference that form control you want in your module's aspx page by its physical location in the site. For instance, <%@ Register Src="~~/CMSModules/Content/FormControls/Documents/selectdocument.ascx" TagPrefix="uc1" TagName="DocPicker" %>
