stuck on widget creation

I'm trying to create a new widget that when the user clicks the edit button they can enter in a title, an URL and select an image. however, I can't get it to work, the only thing I can get to work on my widget is an htmlfield and I don't want that, I want user to see the following when they click edit

Title: <textbox>
URL: <textbox>
Image: image uploader/selector

click save and then see what they just entered in on the page. So far I can only get an htmlfield to work, how can I get the above items to work? I looked at the doc and so far no luck

Hello Newtocms,

Please review the attached sample control with control designer. It uses the images selector from the forum post, but instead of opening it in a new RadWindow it opens it in the context of the designer, which is a little bit simpler approach.

Thanks Rad, I'll give it a shot and post back with the results (worked for failed)  :)

when I drag my widget to the page and click on the edit button, all I'm getting is the default edit screen, I'm not getting the page to allow me to enter title, and upload/select and image. what am I missing?

Check if there are any JS errors. It seems that the script component of the designer is not loading properly for some reason.

No JS errors, no errors in general, its just not loading

Hello Newtocms,

Could you try adding MediaContentSelectorView inside the designer template as shown here and see if there will be a result. If not then you have not registered the control correctly or class library properly to the solution

same results, I see the default edit screen. I'm able to add the MediaContentViewer to my designer page, but I don't see it when I click edit.

What I did is this:
in my project I created a folder named Controls under that folder I created another one named ImageSelector and then I placed all of the files under the ImageSelector folder, I then changed all of the namespace references to point to SitefinityWebApp.Controls.ImageSelector as well as change the reference to the templates, js file, etc.

Hello Newtocms,

All templates, js, css should be build as embedded resources. In your control you should have a reference to the control designer using ControlDesigner attribute. Inside the ControlDesigner you need to have a reference to the embedded template of the designer where you need to declare your controls.

You can check the SDK where you will see how this is done.

All the best,

I have the js set to 'embedded resources'

I have tried everything and still no luck. If I strip out everything and put in an htmlfield, then I can see that, anything else, nothing.

what am I missing? I have the .ascx files as embedded resources, the js as an embedded resources and still nothing, when I click [edit] on my widget I'm getting the default screen

Hello Newtocms,

Please open a support request and attach the code that you have - the class library that you use.
